Patch name: md-fix-null-pointer-deref.patch
Fix NULL pointer dereference.
When the module parameter 'start_dirty_degraded' is set, the
RAID is not in sync, and a drive needs to be rebuilt, there
will be BUG() called when finished because 'sysfs_notify_dirent'
is called with a NULL argument. (rdev->sysfs_state is not
always set.)
