__md_stop_writes currently doesn't stop raid5-cache reclaim thread. It's possible the reclaim thread is still running and doing write, which doesn't match what __md_stop_writes should do. The extra ->quiesce() call should not harm any raid types. For raid5-cache, this will guarantee we reclaim all caches before we update superblock.
