md: Flush workqueue md_rdev_misc_wq in md_alloc()
commit 5e8daf90 upstream. A race condition still exists when removing and re-creating md devices in test cases. However, it is only seen on some setups. The race condition was tracked down to a reference still being held to the kobject by the rdev in the md_rdev_misc_wq which will be released in rdev_delayed_delete(). md_alloc() waits for previous deletions by waiting on the md_misc_wq, but the md_rdev_misc_wq may still be holding a reference to a recently removed device. To fix this, also flush the md_rdev_misc_wq in md_alloc().
