I updated the commit message as:

md/raid5: don't start reshape when recovery or replace is in progress

When recovery is interrupted (reboot, etc.) check for MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
is not enough to tell recovery is in progress. Also check recovery_cp
before starting reshape.

Please let me know if this doesn't make sense.
