[PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit aligned
reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned. So swap with
new_level.
NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However:
- The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
- This code is still marked 'experimental'
- This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
- These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
first second of the reshape process.
So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people
heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.
