After commit db5e653d7c9f ("md: delay choosing sync action to
md_start_sync()"), md_start_sync() will hold 'reconfig_mutex', however,
in order to make sure event_work is done, __md_stop() will flush
workqueue with reconfig_mutex grabbed, hence if sync_work is still
pending, deadlock will be triggered.

Fortunately, former pacthes to fix stopping sync_thread already make sure
all sync_work is done already, hence such deadlock is not possible
anymore. However, in order not to cause confusions for people by this
implicit dependency, delay flushing event_work to dm-raid where
'reconfig_mutex' is not held, and add some comments to emphasize that
the workqueue can't be flushed with 'reconfig_mutex'.

<title>md: split MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED out of mddev_resume</title>

New mddev_resume() calls are added to synchronize IO with array
reconfiguration, however, this introduces a performance regression while
adding it in md_start_sync():

1) someone sets MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED first;
2) daemon thread grabs reconfig_mutex, then clears MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED and
   queues a new sync work;
3) daemon thread releases reconfig_mutex;
4) in md_start_sync
   a) check that there are spares that can be added/removed, then suspend
      the array;
   b) remove_and_add_spares may not be called, or called without really
      add/remove spares;
   c) resume the array, then set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again!

Loop between 2 - 4, then mddev_suspend() will be called quite often, for
consequence, normal IO will be quite slow.

Fix this problem by don't set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again in md_start_sync(),
hence the loop will be broken.

Currently sync thread is stopped from multiple contex:
 - idle_sync_thread
 - frozen_sync_thread
 - __md_stop_writes
 - md_set_readonly
 - do_md_stop

And there are some problems:
1) sync_work is flushed while reconfig_mutex is grabbed, this can
   deadlock because the work function will grab reconfig_mutex as well.
2) md_reap_sync_thread() can't be called directly while md_do_sync() is
   not finished yet, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
   idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
3) If MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is not set, there is no need to stop
   sync_thread at all because sync_thread must not be registered.

Factor out a helper stop_sync_thread(), so that above contex will behave
the same. Fix 1) by flushing sync_work after reconfig_mutex is released,
before waiting for sync_thread to be done; Fix 2) bt letting daemon thread
to unregister sync_thread; Fix 3) by always checking MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
first.

If md_set_readonly() failed, the array could still be read-write, however
'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' could still be set, which leave the array in an
abnormal state that sync or recovery can't continue anymore.
Hence make sure the flag is cleared after md_set_readonly() returns.

Commit ac619781967b ("md: use separate work_struct for md_start_sync()")
use a new sync_work to replace del_work, however, stop_sync_thread() and
__md_stop_writes() was trying to wait for sync_thread to be done, hence
they should switch to use sync_work as well.

Noted that md_start_sync() from sync_work will grab 'reconfig_mutex',
hence other contex can't held the same lock to flush work, and this will
be fixed in later patches.

md_end_clone_io() may overwrite error status in orig_bio-&gt;bi_status with
BLK_STS_OK. This could happen when orig_bio has BIO_CHAIN (split by
md_submit_bio =&gt; bio_split_to_limits, for example). As a result, upper
layer may miss error reported from md (or the device) and consider the
failed IO was successful.

Fix this by only update orig_bio-&gt;bi_status when current bio reports
error and orig_bio is BLK_STS_OK. This is the same behavior as
__bio_chain_endio().

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
  infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
  all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
  driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
  is worth re-iterating the value:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
  unneeded check for procname == NULL.

  The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
  which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
  to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
  to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
  cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
  this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
  might as well roll through the fixes now"
