- Don't run the raid-check script if the kernel doesn't support md devices

(bz557053)
- Don't report any mismatch_cnt issues on raid1 devices as there are
    legitimate reasons why the count may not be 0 and we are getting enough
    false positives that it renders the check useless (bz554217, bz547128)

# leaving the raid1 device in the check list and performing the
# check, we still catch and correct any bad sectors there might
