Public bug reported:

There was a change in mdadm to fix issue when md_mod is reloaded (not a case 
for ubuntu because md_mod is build-in). Commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git/commit/?id=52209d6ee1183581e148791cf6ee4d60a0193b1d

The fix prevents mdmonitor from occupying mdstat file descriptor in there is no 
any mddevice available.
As a side effect mdmonitor cannot react on md events because it is waiting in 
undefined resource (probably 1 which in demonize mode case is /dev/null).

When mdmonitor is started form command line and there was one mdmonitor
already active, error message also is omitted, because error is thrown
after forking. As a result, unexpectedly we may got same same issue
after array creation.
