md: Don't set mddev private to NULL in raid0 pers->free

Summary

md: Don't set mddev private to NULL in raid0 pers->free

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

md: Don't set mddev private to NULL in raid0 pers->free

In normal stop process, it does like this:
do_md_stop
|
__md_stop (pers->free(); mddev->private=NULL)
|
md_free (free mddev)
__md_stop sets mddev->private to NULL after pers->free. The raid device
will be stopped and mddev memory is free. But in reshape, it doesn't
free the mddev and mddev will still be used in new raid.

In reshape, it first sets mddev->private to new_pers and then runs
old_pers->free(). Now raid0 sets mddev->private to NULL in raid0_free.
The new raid can't work anymore. It will panic when dereference
mddev->private because of NULL pointer dereference.

It can panic like this:
