[PATCH] md: close a small race in md thread deregistration


There is a tiny race when de-registering an MD thread, in that the thread
could disappear before it is set a SIGKILL, causing send_sig to have
problems.  

This is most easily closed by holding tasklist_lock between enabling the
thread to exit (setting ->run to NULL) and telling it to exit.

(akpm: ick.  Needs to use kthread API and stop using signals)
