[linux-lvm] pvresize will cause a meta-data corruption with error message "Error writing device at 4096 length 512"

[Heming Zhao]

For _raw_write_mda_header(), the latest codes are same as stable-2.02.
And below usage is wrong, should be fixed.
```
     if (!dev_write_bytes(mdac->area.dev, write1_start, (size_t)write1_size, write_buf)) {
         ... ...
         dev_unset_last_byte(mdac->area.dev); <==== invalid code, this time fd had been released.
         ... ...
     }
```

This issue only happened on our customer machine, when updating lvm2 from
2.02.120 (no bcache code) to 2.02.180 (contains bcache).

Thanks
