md: Removal of hash table in linear raid
Get rid of sector_div and hash table for linear raid and replace with a linear search in which_dev. The hash table adds a lot of complexity for little if any gain. Ultimately a binary search will be used which will have smaller cache foot print, a similar number of memory access, and no divisions.
