Bug description:
  Current version of mdadm doesn't have second fix for raid10.
  Mdmon is not able do handle end recovery if drive was disconnected while rebuild.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create RAID10 and wait for resync.
  #mdadm --create /dev/md/imsm0 --metadata=imsm --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sde /dev/sdf –run
  #mdadm --create /dev/md/r10d4s64_A --level=10 --chunk 64 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sde /dev/sdf –run

  2. Degrade RAID 10 volume by disconnecting 2 drives.
  #mdadm -If sdb
  #mdadm -If sdf

  3. Add spare drive.
  #mdadm --add /dev/md/imsm0 /dev/sdg

  4. Wait for recovery start.

  5. While rebuild, disconnect recovered member drive (spare added in
  step 4).

  6. Add another spare drive.
  #mdadm --add /dev/md/imsm0 /dev/sdh

  7. Wait for recovery start.

  Expected result:
  Recovery starts automatically.
