Export mdstat parsing function about procfs

[SaimonWoidig]

Oh my god, I don't even know, how I missed that MDRaid functionality in mdraid.go. Thanks, I will look and try it out, and I honestly think, that it's a better way to go. Sorry for your wasted time. 🤦😔

Do you have a concrete use for this?

[SaimonWoidig]

Sorry for the late response, I was on a vacation.
I am developing a Zabbix Agent2 plugin for monitoring MD RAID and I thought, I could use the mdstat parsing functionality from this package.
For now, I just copied the file, did some changes to make it work (mainly rewrite errors). I made sure, that it's known that I took this part of code from the procfs module. I also used the same license.

Why don't you use MDStat() and only the parsing? Just trying to understand, in general I'm totally fine with exporting it. @SuperQ wdyt?

AFAIU, the general consensus is to move away from the regex-based parsing of /proc/mdstat in mdstat.go, and use the sysfs-based parser in sysfs/mdraid.go.

Ok then let's close this for now!
