Monitor: write meta data in readonly state, sometimes
This patch reverts 24a216bf: "Monitor: Don't write metadata in inactive array state". While it's true that writing meta data is usually not necessary in readonly state, there is one important exception: if a disk goes faulty, we want to record that, even if the array is inactive. We might as well just revert 24a216bf, because with the recently submitted patch "Monitor: don't set arrays dirty after transition to read-only" those meta data writes that really annoying (for a clean, readonly, healthy array during startup) are gone anyway.
