md/raid5: Use conf->device_lock protect changing of multi-thread resources.

When we change group_thread_cnt from sysfs entry, it can OOPS.

[  135.300005] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This is because raid5d() can be running when the multi-thread
resources are changed via system. We see need to provide locking.

mddev->device_lock is suitable, but we cannot simple call
alloc_thread_groups under this lock as we cannot allocate memory
while holding a spinlock.
So change alloc_thread_groups() to allocate and return the data
structures, then raid5_store_group_thread_cnt() can take the lock
while updating the pointers to the data structures.

This fixes a bug introduced in 3.12 and so is suitable for the 3.12.x
stable series.
