Prepare to handle 'idle' and 'frozen' differently to fix a deadlock,
there
are no functional changes except that MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is checked
again after 'reconfig_mutex' is held.


Can you explain more about why it needs to check MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
again here?

As I explain in the following comment:

Hi

Who can clear the flag before the lock is held?

Basically every where that can clear the flag...

// This context 	// Other context
			mutex_lock
			...
test_bit -> pass
			clear_bit
			mutex_unlock
mutex_lock
test_bit -> check again

Thanks,
Kuai
