Subject: [PATCH -next] md: don't flush sync_work in md_write_start()

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

Because flush sync_work may trigger mddev_suspend() if there are spares,
and this should never be done in IO path because mddev_suspend() is used
to wait for IO.

This problem is found by code review.

Fixes: bc08041b32ab ("md: suspend array in md_start_sync() if array need reconfiguration")
