Bug Description

Volumes that are "Inconsistent" on all nodes should allow access to them *without* needing "drbdadm primary --force".

That would eg. allow a "mkfs", "blkdiscard", or other initializing requests.

"drbdadm primary --force" might be harmful if other volumes in the same resource are in a non-optimal state, ie. "OutDated", "Inconsistent", detached, etc.

Easiest way to test that:
  * "drbdmanage nv foo 4m --deploy 2"
  * wait a bit
  * "drbdmanage nv foo 4m"
  * Now the resource has one "UpToDate" volume and the other one is "Inconsistent".
