md: fix race when unfreezing sync_action
A recent change removed the need for locking around writing to "sync_action" (and various other places), but introduced a subtle race. When e.g. setting 'reshape' on a 'frozen' array, the 'frozen' flag is cleared before 'reshape' is set, so the md thread can get in and start trying recovery - which isn't wanted. So instead of clearing MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN for any command except 'frozen', only clear it when each specific command is parsed. This allows the handling of 'reshape' to clear the bit while a lock is held. Also remove some places where we set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED, as it is always set on non-error exit of the function. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Fixes: 6791875e2e53 ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.")
