[PATCH -next v3 1/5] md: remove flag RemoveSynchronized

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

rcu is not used correctly here, because synchronize_rcu() is called
before replacing old value, for example:

remove_and_add_spares   // other path
 synchronize_rcu
 // called before replacing old value
 set_bit(RemoveSynchronized)
                        rcu_read_lock()
                        rdev = conf->mirros[].rdev
 pers->hot_remove_disk
  conf->mirros[].rdev = NULL;
  if (!test_bit(RemoveSynchronized))
   synchronize_rcu
   /*
    * won't be called, and won't wait
    * for concurrent readers to be done.
    */
                        // access rdev after remove_and_add_spares()
                        rcu_read_unlock()

Fortunately, there is a separate rcu protection to prevent such rdev
to be freed:

md_kick_rdev_from_array		//other path
				rcu_read_lock()
				rdev = conf->mirros[].rdev
list_del_rcu(&rdev->same_set)

				rcu_read_unlock()
				/*
				 * rdev can be removed from conf, but
				 * rdev won't be freed.
				 */
synchronize_rcu()
free rdev

Hence remove this useless flag and prepare to remove rcu protection to
access rdev from 'conf'.
