md_super_write() and corresponding md_super_wait() generally are called
with reconfig_mutex locked, which prevents disk disappears. There is one
case this rule is broken. write_sb_page of bitmap.c doesn't hold the
mutex. next_active_rdev does increase rdev reference, but it decreases
the reference too early (eg, before IO finish). disk can disappear at
the window. We unconditionally increase rdev reference in
md_super_write() to avoid the race.
