md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly
[ Upstream commit cd32b27a66db8776d8b8e82ec7d7dde97a8693b0 ]
Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly
without holding 'reconfig_mutex', this is definitely unsafe because
md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by
'reconfig_mutex'.
However, hold 'reconfig_mutex' here is still problematic because this
will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread,
like md/raid did.
Fixes: be83651f0050 ("DM RAID: Add message/status support for changing sync action")
