Guoqing Jiang 6d7bdad132 md: always set THREAD_WAKEUP and wake up wqueue if thread existed
[ Upstream commit d1d90147c9 ]

Since commit 4ad23a9764 ("MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending"),
the wait_queue is only got invoked if THREAD_WAKEUP is not set previously.

With above change, I can see process_metadata_update could always hang on
the wait queue, because mddev->thread could stay on 'D' status and the
THREAD_WAKEUP flag is not cleared since there are lots of place to wake up
mddev->thread. Then deadlock happened as follows:

linux175:~ # ps aux|grep md|grep D
root    20117   0.0 0.0         0   0 ? D   03:45   0:00 [md0_raid1]
root    20125   0.0 0.0         0   0 ? D   03:45   0:00 [md0_cluster_rec]
linux175:~ # cat /proc/20117/stack
[<ffffffffa0635604>] dlm_lock_sync+0x94/0xd0 [md_cluster]

[<ffffffff81091741>] kthread+0x101/0x140
linux175:~ # cat /proc/20125/stack
[<ffffffffa0636679>] recv_daemon+0x3f9/0x5c0 [md_cluster]
[<ffffffffa04d2252>] md_thread+0x122/0x150 [md_mod]
[<ffffffff81091741>] kthread+0x101/0x140

So let's revert the part of code in the commit to resovle the problem since
we can't get lots of benefits of previous change.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
