md: update slab_cache before releasing new stripes when stripes resizing



When growing raid5 device on machine with small memory, there is chance that
mdadm will be killed and the following bug report can be observed. The same
bug could also be reproduced in linux-4.10.6.

The problem is that resize_stripes() releases new stripe_heads before assigning new
slab cache to conf->slab_cache. If the shrinker function raid5_cache_scan() gets called
after resize_stripes() starting releasing new stripes but right before new slab cache
being assigned, it is possible that these new stripe_heads will be freed with the old
slab_cache which was already been destoryed and that triggers this bug.
