Commit 3ce94ce5d05a ("md: fix duplicate filename for rdev") introduce a
new lock 'delete_mutex', and trigger a new deadlock:
t1: remove rdev t2: sysfs writer
rdev_attr_store rdev_attr_store
mddev_lock
state_store
md_kick_rdev_from_array
lock delete_mutex
list_add mddev->deleting
unlock delete_mutex
mddev_unlock
mddev_lock
...
lock delete_mutex
kobject_del
// wait for sysfs writers to be done
mddev_unlock
lock delete_mutex
// wait for delete_mutex, deadlock
'delete_mutex' is used to protect the list 'mddev->deleting', turns out
that this list can be protected by 'reconfig_mutex' directly, and this
lock can be removed.
Fix this problem by removing the lock, and use 'reconfig_mutex' to
protect the list. mddev_unlock() will move this list to a local list to
be handled after 'reconfig_mutex' is dropped.

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.
