md: Avoid waking up a thread after it has been freed.
Two related problems:
1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)"
without subsequently clearing ->thread. A subsequent call
to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash.
2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread
disappeared either by:
- holding the ->mutex
- having an active request, so something else must be keeping
the array active.
However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the
mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the
->thread could theoretically disappear.
So we need a spinlock to provide some protections.
So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread
pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and
clears the pointer properly.
