Subject: [PATCH 3.12 148/212] md: test mddev->flags more safely in md_check_recovery.

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.de>

commit 142d44c310819e1965ca70b4d55d7679f5797e25 upstream.

commit 7a0a5355cbc71efa md: Don't test all of mddev->flags at once.
made most tests on mddev->flags safer, but missed one.

When
commit 260fa034ef7a4ff8b7306 md: avoid deadlock when dirty buffers during md_stop.
added MD_STILL_CLOSED, this caused md_check_recovery to misbehave.
It can think there is something to do but find nothing.  This can
lead to the md thread spinning during array shutdown.
