md: Allow metadata_version to be updated for externally managed metadata.

Browse Source 
For externally managed metadata, the 'metadata_version' sysfs
attribute is really just a channel for user-space programs to
communicate about how the array is being managed.
It can be useful for this to be changed while the array is active.

Normally changes to metadata_version are not permitted while the array
is active.  Change that so that if the metadata is externally managed,
the metadata_version can be changed to a different flavour of external
management.
