Commit 8313b8e57f55b15e5b7f7fc5d1630bbf686a9a97
   md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.

added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.

This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation.  But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if ->ro is set.

So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.

Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.
(3.2 or later)
