[Bug 1700728] [NEW] Monthly checkarray not run if machine not running overnight

Public bug reported:

mdadm schedules a run of checkarray once a month using an entry in
/etc/cron.d

However,  if the machine is not running at the time this is scheduled it
will not be run, even when the machine is reloaded.

Perhaps this should be moved to /etc/cron.monthly so that anacron can
pick it up.
