All .getinfo_super() call sets the info.safe_mode_delay variables to a constant value, so no matter what the current state is that function will always set it to the same value. Create() calls .getinfo_super() multiple times while creating the array. The value is stored in a local variable for every disk in the loop to add disks (so the last disc call takes precedence). The local variable is then used in the call to sysfs_set_safemode(). This can be simplified by using info.safe_mode_delay directly. The info variable had .getinfo_super() called on it early in the function so, by the reasoning above, it will have the same value as the local variable which can thus be removed. Doing this allows for factoring out code from Create() in a subsequent patch.
