Do you take a look at patch 4 and patch 9? sync thread will not start
before step 4 now.

And nothing is broke here.

And can you still reporduce this problem after this patchset?

Or are you saying that it's better to fix this problem this way? You
dind't explain that what's the problem to set MD_RECOVERY_DONE in
md_so_sync().
