Subject: [PATCH] md/raid5: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in debug routine

When I ran dynamic debug, I encountered a NULL pointer dereference
bug in add_stripe_bio(). Prior to second call to pr_debug(), @bi
was reused in order to check whether the request is partial write
or not, and it could lead to set @bi to NULL.

Since we save original @bi pointer into local variable 'bip', use
it instead of NULL-able @bi.

Also changed confusing 'bh' to 'bi' in the first message.
