Junxiao Bi e1a86dbbbd md: fix deadlock causing by sysfs_notify
The following deadlock was captured. The first process is holding 'kernfs_mutex'
and hung by io. The io was staging in 'r1conf.pending_bio_list' of raid1 device,
this pending bio list would be flushed by second process 'md127_raid1', but
it was hung by 'kernfs_mutex'. Using sysfs_notify_dirent_safe() to replace
sysfs_notify() can fix it. There were other sysfs_notify() invoked from io
path, removed all of them.

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.
