Subject: [PATCH] md: do not use ++ in rcu_dereference() argument

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@...il.com>

rcu_dereference() is macro, so it might use its argument twice.
Argument must not has side effects.

It was found by compiler warning:
drivers/md/raid1.c: In function ‘read_balance’:
drivers/md/raid1.c:445: warning: operation on ‘new_disk’ may be undefined
