[BUG] drbd/block: A sleep-in-atomic bug in notify_helper

From: Jia-Ju Bai

The driver may sleep under a RCU lock, and the function call path is:
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
notify_helper
mutex_lock --> may sleep

I hope to fix it, but I do not find a proper way at present ...
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.


Thanks,
