Subject: [PATCH 5.17 697/772] md: fix an incorrect NULL check in md_reload_sb

From: Xiaomeng Tong <xiam0nd.tong@...il.com>

commit 64c54d9244a4efe9bc6e9c98e13c4bbb8bb39083 upstream.

The bug is here:
	if (!rdev || rdev->desc_nr != nr) {

The list iterator value 'rdev' will *always* be set and non-NULL
by rdev_for_each_rcu(), so it is incorrect to assume that the
iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element
found (In fact, it will be a bogus pointer to an invalid struct
object containing the HEAD). Otherwise it will bypass the check
and lead to invalid memory access passing the check.

To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while using the original variable 'pdev' as a dedicated pointer to
point to the found element.
