5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Li Nan <linan122@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9dd8702e7cd28ebf076ff838933f29cf671165ec ] 'disk->private_data' is set to mddev in md_alloc() and never set to NULL, and users need to open mddev before submitting ioctl. So mddev must not have been freed during ioctl, and there is no need to check mddev here. Clean up it.
