Currently, there are many places that md_thread can be accessed without protection, following are known scenarios that can cause null-ptr-dereference or uaf: 1) sync_thread that is allocated and started from md_start_sync() 2) mddev->thread can be accessed directly from timeout_store() and md_bitmap_daemon_work() 3) md_unregister_thread() from action_store(). Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect 'mddev->thread' in some places, this problem can be fixed likewise, however, use a global lock for all the cases is not good. Fix this problem by protecting all md_thread with rcu.
