Bug#405919: checkarray does not report or fix mismatch_cnt issues

Hmm,

On further reflection, perhaps it's best if this patch is tweaked so 
that it doesn't say anything at all about raid1, or raid10 devices....  
I'll rework it a bit.

The thing about mismatch_cnt being non-trustworthy on RAID1 and 10 is 
nasty tho', and probably means that

/etc/logcheck/violations.d/mdadm

needs patching so that it doesn't mail out about mismatches found, 
because it can send you on a giant wild goose chase (it certainly did 
with me)....

Tim.
