Subject[PATCH 001 of 10] md: Fix possible oops when removing a bitmap from an active array

It is possible to add a write-intent bitmap to an active array, or remove
the bitmap that is there.
When we do with the 'quiesce' the array, which causes make_request to
block in "wait_barrier()".
However we are sampling the value of "mddev->bitmap" before the
wait_barrier call, and using it afterwards. This can result in
using a bitmap structure that has been freed.
