3.2.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> commit e8b849158508565e0cd6bc80061124afc5879160 upstream. commit e875ecea266a543e643b19e44cf472f1412708f9 md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery. added code to the "cannot recover this block" path to record a bad block rather than fail the whole recovery. Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather than *before*, yet it still uses r10bio. This is will crash with a null dereference. So move the freeing of r10bio down where it is safe.
