Hi Kuai

After this patch, it indeed fix the problem mentioned in this patch.
So it can be cleared before stopping sync thread. I don't know why you
say it never be cleared.

>From code review, raid_postsuspend is used to stop sync thread and
suspend array. Maybe I don't understand right. If I'm right, it needs
to clear MD_RECOVERY_WAIT before stopping sync thread.

I don't understand you here.  From debug, there are three reloads
during dmraidd reshape. In the second reload, it doesn't want to start
sync thread. It's the reason that it sets MD_RECOVERY_WAIT because
dmraid is still not ready. In the third reload, it stops the mddev
which is created in the second reload and create a new mddev. During
this process, MD_RECOVERY_WAIT always works until suspend mddev which
is created in the second mddev. It has no relationship with
MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN.
