No, this is wrong. DO NOT run udevtrigger for no good reason.
If you need to trigger a specific event then tickle $DEVPATH/uevent,
e.g:

echo add > /sys/block/md0/uevent

But still, I can't see why this should help: if /sys/block/md0/ exists
then the MD array has already been activated, so its uevent should have
been generated too.
Manually creating /dev/md0 will not activate the device and no uevent
will be generated, so running udevtrigger cannot help.
