md: Improve name of threads created by md_register_thread
The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and can be confusion. So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given. This is simpler and more correct.
