md: don't unregister sync_thread with reconfig_mutex held

Unregister sync_thread doesn't need to hold reconfig_mutex since it
doesn't reconfigure array.

And it could cause deadlock problem for raid5 as follows:

1. process A tried to reap sync thread with reconfig_mutex held after echo
   idle to sync_action.
2. raid5 sync thread was blocked if there were too many active stripes.
3. SB_CHANGE_PENDING was set (because of write IO comes from upper layer)
   which causes the number of active stripes can't be decreased.
4. SB_CHANGE_PENDING can't be cleared since md_check_recovery was not able
   to hold reconfig_mutex.

And add one parameter to md_reap_sync_thread since it could be called by
dm-raid which doesn't hold reconfig_mutex.
