md: Relax minimum size restrictions on chunk_size.
Currently, the 'chunk_size' of an array must be at-least PAGE_SIZE.
This makes moving an array to a machine with a larger PAGE_SIZE, or
changing the kernel to use a larger PAGE_SIZE, can stop an array from
working.
For RAID10 and RAID4/5/6, this is non-trivial to fix as the resync
process works on whole pages at a time, and assumes them to be wholly
within a stripe. For other raid personalities, this restriction is
not needed at all and can be dropped.
So remove the test on chunk_size from common can, and add it in just
the places where it is needed: raid10 and raid4/5/6.
