md: software Raid autodetect dev list not array

In current release kernels the md module (Software RAID) uses a static
array (dev_t[128]) to store partition/device info temporarily for
autostart.

I discovered this (and that the devices are added as disks/partitions are
discovered at boot) while I was debugging why only one of my MD arrays would
come up whole, while all the others were short a disk.

I eventually discovered that it was enumerating through all of 9 of my 11 hds
(2 had only 4 partitions apiece) while the other 9 have 15 partitions (I
wanted 64 per drive...).  The last partition of the 8th drive in my 9 drive
raid 5 sets wasn't added, thus making the final md array short both a parity
and data disk, and it was started later, elsewhere.

This patch replaces that static array with a list.
