Since &mddev->open_mutex is held when testing a bit of mddev->flags, I
modified the code just a little bit by putting mutex_unlock() as
belows.

 		mutex_unlock(&mddev->open_mutex);
 		sync_blockdev(bdev);

The warning no longer recurs (of course, we removed
WARN_ON_ONCE()). As I am not familiar with this code, I do not see any
other problem.
