Make sure all changes to md/array_state are notified.
Changes in md/array_state could be of interest to a monitoring
program. So make sure all changes trigger a notification.
Exceptions:
changing active_idle to active is not reported because it
is frequent and not interesting.
changing active to active_idle is only reported on arrays
with externally managed metadata, as it is not interesting
otherwise.
