md: fix deadlock causing by sysfs_notify

The following deadlock was captured. The first process is holding 'kernfs_mutex'
and hung by io. The io was staging in 'r1conf.pending_bio_list' of raid1 device,
this pending bio list would be flushed by second process 'md127_raid1', but
it was hung by 'kernfs_mutex'. Using sysfs_notify_dirent_safe() to replace
sysfs_notify() can fix it. There were other sysfs_notify() invoked from io
path, removed all of them.
