Subject: [066/140] md: raid10: Fix null pointer dereference in fix_read_error()

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Prasanna S. Panchamukhi <prasanna.panchamukhi@...erbed.com>

commit 0544a21db02c1d8883158fd6f323364f830a120a upstream.

Such NULL pointer dereference can occur when the driver was fixing the
read errors/bad blocks and the disk was physically removed
causing a system crash. This patch check if the
rcu_dereference() returns valid rdev before accessing it in fix_read_error().
