Introduced by upstream commit 70d9798b95562abac005d4ba71d28820f9a201eb The raid0 personality does not create mddev->thread as oposed to other personalities leading to its unconditional access in mddev_suspend() causing an oops. Patch checks for mddev->thread in order to keep the intention of aforementioned commit.
