If we release those memories in md_free_disk, it's hard to find the
corresponding relationship between alloc memory and free memory.
If we free memory in __md_stop, it's easy to find the right place where
those memories are free.

Hi Yu Kuai

Thanks for reporting this problem.

For creating raid device, md raid calls do_md_run->md_run, dm raid
calls md_run. We alloc those memory in md_run.
For stopping raid device, md raid calls do_md_stop->__md_stop, dm raid
calls md_stop->__md_stop.

So how about this patch:

If md_run() failed after 'acitive_io' is initialized, then
percpu_ref_exit() is called in error path, however, later md_free_disk()
will call percpu_ref_exit() again, which lead to following
null-ptr-deference:

Since freeing mddev will exit 'active_io' unconditionally, fix the
problem by removing exiting 'active_io' from error path, this way
it will be delayed to free mddev.
