md/raid5-cache: Clear conf->log after finishing work



A NULL pointer dereferlence on conf->log is seen randomly with
the mdadm test 21raid5cache. Kasan reporst:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in r5l_reclaimable_space+0xf5/0x140
Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000860 by task md0_reclaim/3086

Call Trace:
  dump_stack_lvl+0x5a/0x74
  kasan_report.cold+0x5f/0x1a9
  __asan_load8+0x69/0x90
  r5l_reclaimable_space+0xf5/0x140
  r5l_do_reclaim+0xf4/0x5e0
  r5l_reclaim_thread+0x69/0x3b0
  md_thread+0x1a2/0x2c0
  kthread+0x177/0x1b0
  ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

This is caused by conf->log being cleared in r5l_exit_log() before
stopping the reclaim thread.

To fix this, clear conf->log after the reclaim_thread is unregistered
and after flushing disable_writeback_work.
