md: fix deadlock when stopping arrays

Browse Source 
Resolve a deadlock when stopping redundant arrays, i.e. ones that
require a call to sysfs_remove_group when shutdown.  The deadlock is
summarized below:

Thread1                Thread2
-------                -------
read sysfs attribute   stop array
                       take mddev lock
                       sysfs_remove_group
sysfs_get_active
wait for mddev lock
                       wait for active

This has been there for a while, but is easier to trigger now that mdmon
is closely watching sysfs.
