eww, ITERATE_MDDEV() and ITERATE_RDEV() are an eyesore.

for_each_mddev() and for_each_rdev() would at least mean the reader doesn't
need to check the implementation when wondering what that `break' is
breaking from.

The naming style here is inconsistent.

A task for the keen would be to convert these to an enum and add some
namespacing prefix to them.
