Subject: [PATCH -next v2 1/2] md/raid5-cache: Revert "md/raid5-cache: Clear conf->log after finishing work"

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

This reverts commit b13015af94cf405f73ff64ce0797269554020c37.

Because this will cause that r5c_disable_writeback_async() to wait
forever, since caller hold reconfig_mutex and conf->log is not NULL:

wait_event
 conf->log == NULL ||
 (!test_bit(MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING, &mddev->sb_flags) &&
  (locked = mddev_trylock(mddev)))

This problem is found by code review, and the null-ptr-deref this patch
fixed will be fixed by another approch in the next patch.
