Subject: [PATCH 37/83] mdadm: Fix optional --write-behind parameter

The commit noted below changed the behaviour of --write-behind to
require an argument. This broke the 06wrmostly test with the error:

  mdadm: Invalid value for maximum outstanding write-behind writes: (null).
         Must be between 0 and 16383.

To fix this, check if optarg is NULL before parising it, as the origial
code did.

Fixes: 60815698c0ac ("Refactor parse_num and use it to parse optarg.")
