Subject: [PATCH v5 3/8] md: clean up invalid BUG_ON in md_ioctl

From: Li Nan <linan122@...wei.com>

'disk->private_data' is set to mddev in md_alloc() and never set to NULL,
and users need to open mddev before submitting ioctl. So mddev must not
have been freed during ioctl, and there is no need to check mddev here.
Clean up it.
