    .
    
    This commit is poorly justified, I can find not discusison in email,
    and it clearly causes a problem.
    
    If a device which is being recovered fails and is subsequently
    re-added to an array, there could easily have been changes to the
    array *before* the point where the recovery was up to.  So the
    recovery must start again from the beginning.
    
    If a spare is being recovered and fails, then when it is re-added we
    really should do a bitmap-based recovery up to the recovery-offset,
    and then a full recovery from there.  Before this reversion, we only
    did the "full recovery from there" which is not corect.  After this
    reversion with will do a full recovery from the start, which is safer
    but not ideal.
    
    It will be left to a future patch to arrange the two different styles
    of recovery.
