drbd: only clone bio if we have a backing device
[ Upstream commit 6d42ddf7f27b6723549ee6d4c8b1b418b59bf6b5 ]
Commit c347a787e34cb (drbd: set ->bi_bdev in drbd_req_new) moved a
bio_set_dev call (which has since been removed) to "earlier", from
drbd_request_prepare to drbd_req_new.
The problem is that this accesses device->ldev->backing_bdev, which is
not NULL-checked at this point. When we don't have an ldev (i.e. when
the DRBD device is diskless), this leads to a null pointer deref.
So, only allocate the private_bio if we actually have a disk. This is
also a small optimization, since we don't clone the bio to only to
immediately free it again in the diskless case.
Fixes: c347a787e34cb ("drbd: set ->bi_bdev in drbd_req_new")
