Segfault when readding hotplug devices

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mdadm

When an hotplugable raid 1 member (say /dev/sdc1) gets disconnected and is subsequently re-added with "mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1" mdadm quits with "segmentation fault".

The udev rules supplied with mdadm need to trigger a "mdadm --fail <devname> --remove <devname>" as soon as possible on udev removal events.

The member partitions need to be removed quickly (i.e. ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic") before the device node ist deleted, because then the device can't be removed from the array any more.
