md/raid5: avoid races when changing cache size.

commit 2d5b569b665ea6d0b15c52529ff06300de81a7ce upstream.

Cache size can grow or shrink due to various pressures at
any time.  So when we resize the cache as part of a 'grow'
operation (i.e. change the size to allow more devices) we need
to blocks that automatic growing/shrinking.

So introduce a mutex.  auto grow/shrink uses mutex_trylock()
and just doesn't bother if there is a blockage.
Resizing the whole cache holds the mutex to ensure that
the correct number of new stripes is allocated.

This bug can result in some stripes not being freed when an
array is stopped.  This leads to the kmem_cache not being
freed and a subsequent array can try to use the same kmem_cache
and get confused.

Fixes: edbe83ab4c27 ("md/raid5: allow the stripe_cache to grow and shrink.")
