If there are multiple arrays in system and one mddevice is marked with MD_DELETED and md_seq_next() is called in the middle of removal then it _get()s proper device but it may _put() deleted one. As a result, active counter may never be zeroed for mddevice and it cannot be removed. Put the device which has been _get with previous md_seq_next() call.
