md/bitmap: prevent bitmap_daemon_work running while initialising bitmap
If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being initialised. This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly. So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap to prevent problems. This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not apply cleanly before about 3.1. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
