Subject: [PATCH -next] md/raid5: fix spares errors about rcu usage

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

As commit ad8606702f26 ("md/raid5: remove rcu protection to access rdev
from conf") explains, rcu protection can be removed, however, there are
three places left, there won't be any real problems.

drivers/md/raid5.c:8071:24: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
drivers/md/raid5.c:8071:24:    struct md_rdev [noderef] __rcu *
drivers/md/raid5.c:8071:24:    struct md_rdev *
drivers/md/raid5.c:7569:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
drivers/md/raid5.c:7569:25:    struct md_rdev [noderef] __rcu *
drivers/md/raid5.c:7569:25:    struct md_rdev *
drivers/md/raid5.c:7573:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
drivers/md/raid5.c:7573:25:    struct md_rdev [noderef] __rcu *
drivers/md/raid5.c:7573:25:    struct md_rdev *
