A cascade of MD reverts occurred late in the v5.10-rcX cycle due to MD

raid10 discard optimizations having introduced potential for
 corruption. Those reverts exposed a dm-raid.c compiler warning that
 wasn't ever knowingly introduced. That min_not_zero() type mismatch
 warning was thought to be safely fixed simply by changing 'struct
 mddev' to use 'unsigned int' rather than int for chunk_sectors members
 in that struct. I proposed either using a cast local to dm-raid.c but
 thought changing the type to 'unsigned int' more correct. While that
 may be, not enough testing was paired with code review associated with
 making that change. As such we were left exposed and the result was a
 report that with v5.10 btrfs on MD RAID6 failed to mount:
 https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/12/14/7
 
 Given that report, it is justified to simply revert these offending
 commits. stable@ has already taken steps to revert these for 5.10.1 -
 this pull request just makes sure mainline does so too.
