Guoqing Jiang f6766ff6af md: don't flush workqueue unconditionally in md_open
We need to check mddev->del_work before flush workqueu since the purpose
of flush is to ensure the previous md is disappeared. Otherwise the similar
deadlock appeared if LOCKDEP is enabled, it is due to md_open holds the
bdev->bd_mutex before flush workqueue.

And md_alloc also flushed the same workqueue, but the thing is different
here. Because all the paths call md_alloc don't hold bdev->bd_mutex, and
the flush is necessary to avoid race condition, so leave it as it is.

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.
