Yu Kuai b39113349d md: split MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED out of mddev_resume
New mddev_resume() calls are added to synchronize IO with array
reconfiguration, however, this introduces a performance regression while
adding it in md_start_sync():

1) someone sets MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED first;
2) daemon thread grabs reconfig_mutex, then clears MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED and
   queues a new sync work;
3) daemon thread releases reconfig_mutex;
4) in md_start_sync
   a) check that there are spares that can be added/removed, then suspend
      the array;
   b) remove_and_add_spares may not be called, or called without really
      add/remove spares;
   c) resume the array, then set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again!

Loop between 2 - 4, then mddev_suspend() will be called quite often, for
consequence, normal IO will be quite slow.

Fix this problem by don't set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED again in md_start_sync(),
hence the loop will be broken.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
