Here you introduce a change not mentioned in the commit message:
in_array is used to check for forcefsck, so this patch does this
inline instead (which makes me more hesitant than before to apply it).

Changing in_array to ck_autostart would be fine, but I don't see the
benefit of deprecating in_array. If in_array()  has a bug, then we
should fix it, if this causes regressions then they should be fixed,
if they cannot be fixed we might consider adding a new is_in_array and
deprecating the old one. However, I'd rather not derpecate/change/add
functions unless we must.

If there are bugs out there that I'm not aware of, and that would be
fixed by this patch, please let me know.

Cheers,

Tom
