[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 18/25] md: protect md_unregister_thread from reentrancy

[Sasha Levin]

From: Guoqing Jiang <guoqing.jiang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1e267742283a4b5a8ca65755c44166be27e9aa0f ]

Generally, the md_unregister_thread is called with reconfig_mutex, but
raid_message in dm-raid doesn't hold reconfig_mutex to unregister thread,
so md_unregister_thread can be called simulitaneously from two call sites
in theory.

Then after previous commit which remove the protection of reconfig_mutex
for md_unregister_thread completely, the potential issue could be worse
than before.

Let's take pers_lock at the beginning of function to ensure reentrancy.
