From: Xiao Ni <xni@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d9771f5ec46c282d518b453c793635dbdc3a2a94 upstream. commit d5d885fd514f ("md: introduce new personality funciton start()") splits the init job to two parts. The first part run() does the jobs that do not require the md threads. The second part start() does the jobs that require the md threads. Now it just does run() in adding new journal device. It needs to do the second part start() too.
