      md: add checkings before flush md_misc_wq · 21e0958e

      Coly reported possible circular locking dependencyi with LOCKDEP enabled,
      quote the below info from the detailed report [1].
      
      [ 1607.673903] Chain exists of:
      [ 1607.673903]   kn->count#256 --> (wq_completion)md_misc -->
      (work_completion)(&rdev->del_work)
      [ 1607.673903]
      [ 1607.827946]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
      [ 1607.827946]
      [ 1607.898780]        CPU0                    CPU1
      [ 1607.952980]        ----                    ----
      [ 1608.007173]   lock((work_completion)(&rdev->del_work));
      [ 1608.069690]                                lock((wq_completion)md_misc);
      [ 1608.149887]                                lock((work_completion)(&rdev->del_work));
      [ 1608.242563]   lock(kn->count#256);
      [ 1608.283238]
      [ 1608.283238]  *** DEADLOCK ***
      [ 1608.283238]
      [ 1608.354078] 2 locks held by kworker/5:0/843:
      [ 1608.405152]  #0: ffff8889eecc9948 ((wq_completion)md_misc){+.+.}, at:
      process_one_work+0x42b/0xb30
      [ 1608.512399]  #1: ffff888a1d3b7e10
      ((work_completion)(&rdev->del_work)){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x42b/0xb30
      [ 1608.632130]
      
      Since works (rdev->del_work and mddev->del_work) are queued in md_misc_wq,
      then lockdep_map lock is held if either of them are running, then both of
      them try to hold kernfs lock by call kobject_del. Then if new_dev_store
      or array_state_store are triggered by write to the related sysfs node, so
      the write operation gets kernfs lock, but need the lockdep_map because all
      of them would trigger flush_workqueue(md_misc_wq) finally, then the same
      lockdep_map lock is needed.
      
      To suppress the lockdep warnning, we should flush the workqueue in case the
      related work is pending. And several works are attached to md_misc_wq, so
      we need to check which work should be checked:
      
      1. for __md_stop_writes, the purpose of call flush workqueue is ensure sync
      thread is started if it was starting, so check mddev->del_work is pending
      or not since md_start_sync is attached to mddev->del_work.
      
      2. __md_stop flushes md_misc_wq to ensure event_work is done, check the
      event_work is enough. Assume raid_{ctr,dtr} -> md_stop -> __md_stop doesn't
      need the kernfs lock.
      
      3. both new_dev_store (holds kernfs lock) and ADD_NEW_DISK ioctl (holds the
      bdev->bd_mutex) call flush_workqueue to ensure md_delayed_delete has
      completed, this case will be handled in next patch.
      
      4. md_open flushes workqueue to ensure the previous md is disappeared, but
      it holds bdev->bd_mutex then try to flush workqueue, so it is better to
      check mddev->del_work as well to avoid potential lock issue, this will be
      done in another patch.
