[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 51/72] md: don't flush workqueue unconditionally in md_open

From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f6766ff6afff70e2aaf39e1511e16d471de7c3ae ]

We need to check mddev->del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose
of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar
deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the
bdev->bd_mutex before flush workqueue.

And md_alloc also flushed the same workqueue, but the thing is different
here. Because all the paths call md_alloc don't hold bdev->bd_mutex, and
the flush is necessary to avoid race condition, so leave it as it is.
