md: avoid oops on unload if some process is in poll or select.
If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(), then that process maintains a pointer to md_event_waiters, and when the try to unlink from that list, they will oops. The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all listeners from a waitqueue. So we need to: 1/ make sure no further references to md_event_waiters are taken (by setting md_unloading) 2/ wake up all processes currently waiting, and 3/ wait until all those processes have disconnected from our wait_queue_head.
