mdadm spawns a copy of mdmon to perform these tasks.  If the process
hierarchy is strictly enforced, and kills off spawned processes when
the highest parent dies, that's a problem for mdadm.  I recall some
discussions about this with systemd and/or cgroups.  You might want
to make sure all of your utilities have the latest fixes.
