[PATCH -next 5/5] md: protect md_thread with a new disk level spin lock

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

Our test reports a uaf for 'mddev->sync_thread':

T1                      T2
md_start_sync
 md_register_thread
			raid1d
			 md_check_recovery
			  md_reap_sync_thread
			   md_unregister_thread
			    kfree

 md_wakeup_thread
  wake_up
  ->sync_thread was freed

Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect
'mddev->thread', this problem can be fixed likewise, however, there might
be similar problem for other md_thread, and I really don't like the idea to
borrow a global lock.

This patch use a disk level spinlock to protect md_thread in relevant apis.
