Subject: [PATCH] md: use a mutex to protect a global list

We saw a list corruption in the list all_detected_devices:

 WARNING: CPU: 16 PID: 226 at lib/list_debug.c:29 __list_add+0x3c/0xa9()
 list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff880859d58320), but was ffff880859ce74c0. (next=ffffffff81abfdb0).

I suspect it is because there is no lock protecting this
global list, autostart_arrays() is called in ioctl() path
where there is no lock.
