md/raid5: Before freeing old multi-thread worker, it should flush them.

When changing group_thread_cnt from sysfs entry, the kernel can oops.

[  740.962001] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This can happen if there are some stripes left, fewer than MAX_STRIPE_BATCH.
A worker is queued to handle them.
But before calling raid5_do_work, raid5d handles those
stripes making conf->active_stripe = 0.
So mddev_suspend() can return.
We might then free old worker resources before the queued
raid5_do_work() handled them.  When it runs, it crashes.

	raid5d()		raid5_store_group_thread_cnt()
	queue_work		mddev_suspend()
				handle_strips
				active_stripe=0
				free(old worker resources)
	process_one_work
	raid5_do_work

To avoid this, we should only flush the worker resources before freeing them.

This fixes a bug introduced in 3.12 so is suitable for the 3.12.x
stable series.
