raid5-cache: fix a deadlock in superblock write
There is a potential deadlock in superblock write. Discard could zero data, so
before discard we must make sure superblock is updated to new log tail.
Updating superblock (either directly call md_update_sb() or depend on md
thread) must hold reconfig mutex. On the other hand, raid5_quiesce is called
with reconfig_mutex hold. The first step of raid5_quiesce() is waitting for all
IO finish, hence waitting for reclaim thread, while reclaim thread is calling
this function and waitting for reconfig mutex. So there is a deadlock. We
workaround this issue with a trylock. The downside of the solution is we could
miss discard if we can't take reconfig mutex. But this should happen rarely
(mainly in raid array stop), so miss discard shouldn't be a big problem.
