[PATCH] md: close a small race in md thread deregistration
There is a tiny race when de-registering an MD thread, in that the thread
could disappear before it is set a SIGKILL, causing send_sig to have
problems.
This is most easily closed by holding tasklist_lock between enabling the
thread to exit (setting ->run to NULL) and telling it to exit.
(akpm: ick. Needs to use kthread API and stop using signals)
