Xiao Ni 3e45352259 md: Free resources in __md_stop
If md_run() fails after ->active_io is initialized, then percpu_ref_exit
is called in error path. However, later md_free_disk will call
percpu_ref_exit again which leads to a panic because of null pointer
dereference. It can also trigger this bug when resources are initialized
but are freed in error path, then will be freed again in md_free_disk.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Workqueue: md_misc mddev_delayed_delete

For creating raid device, md raid calls do_md_run->md_run, dm raid calls
md_run. We alloc those memory in md_run. For stopping raid device, md raid
calls do_md_stop->__md_stop, dm raid calls md_stop->__md_stop. So we can
free those memory resources in __md_stop.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
