Commit 8313b8e57f55b15e5b7f7fc5d1630bbf686a9a97 md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap. added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even call md_do_sync()). However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not know that the reshape didn't complete. This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads don't run in that situation. But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape. They do this even if ->ro is set. So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the sync thread, just in case. Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption because the reshape isn't finished properly. So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.
