MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects
MD: Prevent sysfs operations on uninitialized kobjects Device-mapper does not use sysfs; but when device-mapper is leveraging MD's RAID personalities, MD sometimes attempts to update sysfs. This patch adds checks for 'mddev-kobj.sd' in sysfs_[un]link_rdev to ensure it is about to operate on something valid. This patch also checks for 'mddev->kobj.sd' before calling 'sysfs_notify' in 'remove_and_add_spares'. Although 'sysfs_notify' already makes this check, doing so in 'remove_and_add_spares' prevents an additional mutex operation.
