The mddev data structure is freed in mddev_delayed_delete(), which is
schedualed after the array is deconfigured completely when stopping. So
there is a race window between md_open() and do_md_stop(), which leads
to /dev/mdX can still be opened by userspace even it's not accessible
any more. As a result, a DeviceDisappeared event will not be able to be
monitored by mdadm in monitor mode. This patch tries to fix it by adding
this new flag MD_DELETING.
