md: don't start resync thread directly from md thread.
The main 'md' thread is needed for processing writes, so if it blocks
write requests could be delayed.
Starting a new thread requires some GFP_KERNEL allocations and so can
wait for writes to complete. This can deadlock.
So instead, ask a workqueue to start the sync thread.
There is no particular rush for this to happen, so any work queue
will do.
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is used to ensure only one thread is started.
