Yu Kuai db29d79b34 dm-raid: delay flushing event_work() after reconfig_mutex is released
After commit db5e653d7c ("md: delay choosing sync action to
md_start_sync()"), md_start_sync() will hold 'reconfig_mutex', however,
in order to make sure event_work is done, __md_stop() will flush
workqueue with reconfig_mutex grabbed, hence if sync_work is still
pending, deadlock will be triggered.

Fortunately, former pacthes to fix stopping sync_thread already make sure
all sync_work is done already, hence such deadlock is not possible
anymore. However, in order not to cause confusions for people by this
implicit dependency, delay flushing event_work to dm-raid where
'reconfig_mutex' is not held, and add some comments to emphasize that
the workqueue can't be flushed with 'reconfig_mutex'.

Fixes: db5e653d7c ("md: delay choosing sync action to md_start_sync()")
Depends-on: f52f5c71f3 ("md: fix stopping sync thread")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
