int driver/md/md.c, if the function autorun_array() is called, the problem of double free may occur. in function autorun_array(), when the function do_md_run() returns an error, the function do_md_stop() will be called. The function do_md_run() called function md_run(), but in function md_run(), the pointer mddev->private may be freed. The function do_md_stop() called the function __md_stop(), but in function __md_stop(), the pointer mddev->private also will be freed without judging null. At this time, the pointer mddev->private will be double free, so it needs to be judged null or not.
