    Currently, for idle and frozen, action_store will hold 'reconfig_mutex'
    and call md_reap_sync_thread() to stop sync thread, however, this will
    cause deadlock (explained in the next patch). In order to fix the
    problem, following patch will release 'reconfig_mutex' and wait on
    'resync_wait', like md_set_readonly() and do_md_stop() does.
    
    Consider that action_store() will set/clear 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN'
    unconditionally, which might cause unexpected problems, for example,
    frozen just set 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' and is still in progress, while
    'idle' clear 'MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN' and new sync thread is started, which
    might starve in progress frozen. A mutex is added to synchronize idle
    and frozen from action_store().
