Fix error paths if md_probe fails.
md_probe can fail (e.g. alloc_disk could fail) without returning an error (as it alway returns NULL). So when we call mddev_find immediately afterwards, we need to check that md_probe actually succeeded. This means checking that mdev->gendisk is non-NULL. cc: <stable@kernel.org> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
