md: protect md_thread with rcu
Currently, there are many places that md_thread can be accessed without
protection, following are known scenarios that can cause
null-ptr-dereference or uaf:
1) sync_thread that is allocated and started from md_start_sync()
2) mddev->thread can be accessed directly from timeout_store() and
md_bitmap_daemon_work()
3) md_unregister_thread() from action_store().
Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect
'mddev->thread' in some places, this problem can be fixed likewise,
however, use a global lock for all the cases is not good.
Fix this problem by protecting all md_thread with rcu.
