Our test reports a uaf for 'mddev->sync_thread':
T1 T2
md_start_sync
md_register_thread
// mddev->sync_thread is set
raid1d
md_check_recovery
md_reap_sync_thread
md_unregister_thread
kfree
md_wakeup_thread
wake_up
->sync_thread was freed
Root cause is that there is a small windown between register thread and
wake up thread, where the thread can be freed concurrently.
Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect
'mddev->thread', this problem can be fixed likewise, however, there are
similar problems elsewhere, and use a global lock for all the cases is
not good.
This patch protect all md_thread with rcu.
