NeilBrown c331eb04b9 [PATCH] md: Fix badness in sysfs_notify caused by md_new_event
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
calls sysfs_notify.  However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
called in interrupt context.

This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
call, and uses that.  A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
be called from user-context.

Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
itself, modify the sync_action attribute.  (We do still need to
wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).
