Dae R. Jeong c731b84b51 md: fix a warning caused by a race between concurrent md_ioctl()s
Syzkaller reports a warning as belows.

This is caused by a race between two concurrenct md_ioctl()s closing
the array.
CPU1 (md_ioctl())                   CPU2 (md_ioctl())
------                              ------
set_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags);
did_set_md_closing = true;
                                    WARN_ON_ONCE(test_bit(MD_CLOSING,
                                            &mddev->flags));
if(did_set_md_closing)
    clear_bit(MD_CLOSING, &mddev->flags);

Fix the warning by returning immediately if the MD_CLOSING bit is set
in &mddev->flags which indicates that the array is being closed.

Fixes: 065e519e71 ("md: MD_CLOSING needs to be cleared after called md_set_readonly or do_md_stop")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
