When a RAID6 is converted to a RAID5, the extra drive should
be discarded. However it isn't due to a typo in a comparison.
This bug was introduced in commit
e93f68a1fc6 in 2.6.35-rc4
and is suitable for any -stable since than.
As the extra drive is not removed, the 'degraded' counter is wrong and
so the RAID5 will not respond correctly to a subsequent failure.
