[PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs
A device can be removed from an md array via e.g.
echo remove > /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sde/state
This will try to remove the 'dev-sde' subtree which will deadlock
since
commit e7b0d26a86943370c04d6833c6edba2a72a6e240
With this patch we run the kobject_del via schedule_work so as to
avoid the deadlock.
