Heinz Mauelshagen c4d097d130 dm raid: fix oops on upgrading to extended superblock format
When a RAID set was created on dm-raid version < 1.9.0 (old RAID
superblock format), all of the new 1.9.0 members of the superblock are
uninitialized (zero) -- including the device sectors member needed to
support shrinking.

All the other accesses to superblock fields new in 1.9.0 were reviewed
and verified to be properly guarded against invalid use.  The 'sectors'
member was the only one used when the superblock version is < 1.9.

Don't access the superblock's >= 1.9.0 'sectors' member unconditionally.
Also add respective comments.

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
