md: introduce new personality funciton start()
In do_md_run(), md threads should not wake up until the array is fully initialized in md_run(). However, in raid5_run(), raid5-cache may wake up mddev->thread to flush stripes that need to be written back. This design doesn't break badly right now. But it could lead to bad bug in the future. This patch tries to resolve this problem by splitting start up work into two personality functions, run() and start(). Tasks that do not require the md threads should go into run(), while task that require the md threads go into start(). r5l_load_log() is moved to raid5_start(), so it is not called until the md threads are started in do_md_run().
