Subject[PATCH] fix kernel oops in generic_unplug_device() for md
The following patch fixes a kernel oops when doing
blk_unplug_work() (oopses in generic_unplug_device()) for md.

The oops and the original report are here:
http://MARC.10East.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104706400705154&w=2

The problem is that the md driver provides its own unplug
function (among other things) and blk_unplug_work() assumes
that the generic one would work, but it doesn't and BOOM,
it oopses and dies.
