Subject: [PATCH ] drivers/md: use proper rcu accessor

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

rcu_dereference() should be used in sections protected by rcu_read_lock.

For writers, holding some kind of mutex or lock,
rcu_dereference_protected() is the way to go, adding explicit lockdep
bits.

In __unbind(), although there is no mutex or lock held, we are about
to free the mapped device, so can use the constant '1' instead of a
lockdep_is_held()
