CVE-2024-43914

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: avoid BUG_ON() while continue reshape after reassembling
Currently, mdadm support --revert-reshape to abort the reshape while
reassembling, as the test 07revert-grow. However, following BUG_ON()
can be triggerred by the test:
kernel BUG at drivers/md/raid5.c:6278!

Root cause is that --revert-reshape update the raid_disks from 5 to 4,
while reshape position is still set, and after reassembling the array,
reshape position will be read from super block, then during reshape the
checking of ‘writepos’ that is caculated by old reshape position will
fail.
Fix this panic the easy way first, by converting the BUG_ON() to
WARN_ON(), and stop the reshape if checkings fail.
Noted that mdadm must fix --revert-shape as well, and probably md/raid
should enhance metadata validation as well, however this means
reassemble will fail and there must be user tools to fix the wrong
metadata.
