Subject: [PATCH -next 7/8] md: use new helper to stop sync_thread in __md_stop_writes()

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

md_reap_sync_thread() should only be called when md_do_sync() is done,
for example, holding 'reconfig_mutex' to wait for md_do_sync() to be
done can deadlock(see details in commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock")). Hence use new helper to
stop sync_thread.
