md: fix regression for null-ptr-deference in __md_stop()
Commit 3e45352 ("md: Free resources in __md_stop") tried to fix
null-ptr-deference for 'active_io' by moving percpu_ref_exit() to
__md_stop(), however, the commit also moving 'writes_pending' to
__md_stop(), and this will cause mdadm tests broken:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
CPU: 15 PID: 17830 Comm: mdadm Not tainted 6.3.0-rc3-next-20230324-00009-g520d37
RIP: 0010:free_percpu+0x465/0x670
Call Trace:

And the problem can be reporduced 100% by following test:
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n1 /dev/sda --force
echo inactive > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
echo read-auto > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
echo inactive > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
Root cause:
// start raid
raid1_run
mddev_init_writes_pending
percpu_ref_init
// inactive raid
array_state_store
do_md_stop
__md_stop
percpu_ref_exit
// start raid again
array_state_store
do_md_run
raid1_run
mddev_init_writes_pending
if (mddev->writes_pending.percpu_count_ptr)
// won't reinit
// inactive raid again
...
percpu_ref_exit
-> null-ptr-deference
Before the commit, 'writes_pending' is exited when mddev is freed, and
it's safe to restart raid because mddev_init_writes_pending() already make
sure that 'writes_pending' will only be initialized once.
Fix the prblem by moving 'writes_pending' back, it's a litter hard to find
the relationship between alloc memory and free memory, however, code
changes is much less and we lived with this for a long time already.
