Changes in v2:
  - remove a now unused local variable in patch 2;

Commit b13015af94cf ("md/raid5-cache: Clear conf->log after finishing
work") introduce a new problem:

// caller hold reconfig_mutex
r5l_exit_log
  flush_work(&log->disable_writeback_work)
			r5c_disable_writeback_async
			 wait_event
			  /*
			   * conf->log is not NULL, and mddev_trylock()
			   * will fail, wait_event() can never pass.
			   */
  conf->log = NULL

patch 1 revert this patch, an patch 2 fix the original problem in a
different way.

Noted this problem is just found by code review, and I think this is
probably the reason that some mdadm tests is broken.

Any suggestions?

By the way, while taking another look at this problem, I think probably
read and write 'conf->log' should use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE.

Thanks,
Kuai
