md: don't report active array_state until after revalidate_disk() completes.
commit 9d4b45d6 upstream. Until revalidate_disk() has completed, the size of a new md array will appear to be zero. So we shouldn't report, through array_state, that the array is active until that time. udev rules check array_state to see if the array is ready. As soon as it appear to be zero, fsck can be run. If it find the size to be zero, it will fail. So add a new flag to provide an interlock between do_md_run() and array_state_show(). This flag is set while do_md_run() is active and it prevents array_state_show() from reporting that the array is active. Before do_md_run() is called, ->pers will be NULL so array is definitely not active. After do_md_run() is called, revalidate_disk() will have run and the array will be completely ready. We also move various sysfs_notify*() calls out of md_run() into do_md_run() after MD_NOT_READY is cleared. This ensure the information is ready before the notification is sent. Prior to v4.12, array_state_show() was called with the mddev->reconfig_mutex held, which provided exclusion with do_md_run(). Note that MD_NOT_READY cleared twice. This is deliberate to cover both success and error paths with minimal noise.
