md: don't unregister sync_thread with reconfig_mutex held
Unregister sync_thread doesn't need to hold reconfig_mutex since it
doesn't reconfigure array.
And it could cause deadlock problem for raid5 as follows:
1. process A tried to reap sync thread with reconfig_mutex held after echo
idle to sync_action.
2. raid5 sync thread was blocked if there were too many active stripes.
3. SB_CHANGE_PENDING was set (because of write IO comes from upper layer)
which causes the number of active stripes can't be decreased.
4. SB_CHANGE_PENDING can't be cleared since md_check_recovery was not able
to hold reconfig_mutex.
More details in the link:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/5ed54ffc-ce82-bf66-4eff-390cb23bc1ac@molgen.mpg.de/T/#t
And add one parameter to md_reap_sync_thread since it could be called by
dm-raid which doesn't hold reconfig_mutex.
