md: use sysfs_notify_dirent to notify changes to md/dev-xxx/state
The 'state' file for a device reports, for example, when the device
has failed. Changes should be reported to userspace ASAP without
the possibility of blocking on low-memory. sysfs_notify does
have that possibility (as it takes a mutex which can be held
across a kmalloc) so use sysfs_notify_dirent instead.
