[PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs

Browse Source 
A device can be removed from an md array via e.g.
  echo remove > /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sde/state

This will try to remove the 'dev-sde' subtree which will deadlock
since
  commit e7b0d26a86

With this patch we run the kobject_del via schedule_work so as to
avoid the deadlock.
