md: Explicitly create command-line configured devices

Boot-time assembly of arrays with md= command-line arguments breaks when
CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD is unset. md_setup_drive() in md-autodetect.c
calls blkdev_get_by_dev(), assuming this implicitly creates the block
device.

Fix this by attempting to md_alloc() the array first. As in the probe path,
ignore any error as failure is caught by blkdev_get_by_dev() anyway.
