Bug description:
  As we can see in bug 1581940 (attachment HookError_source_mdadm.py)
  the apport package hook for mdadm causes a traceback.

  Here's the Traceback:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 197, in _run_hook
      symb['add_info'](report, ui)
  TypeError: add_info() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 202, in _run_hook
      symb['add_info'](report)
    File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_mdadm.py", line 53, in add_info
      report['initrd.files'] = get_initrd_files(initrd_re)
    File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_mdadm.py", line 30, in get_initrd_files
      out = cpio.communicate(fd.read())[0]
    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 1065, in communicate
      stdout, stderr = self._communicate(input, endtime, timeout)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 1681, in _communicate
      self._save_input(input)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 1754, in _save_input
      self._input = self._input.encode(self.stdin.encoding)
  AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'
