    md: remove need for mddev_lock() in md_seq_show() · f97fcad3

    The only access in md_seq_show that could suffer from races
    not protected by ->lock is walking the rdev list.
    This can receive sufficient protection from 'rcu'.
    
    So use rdev_for_each_rcu() and get rid of mddev_lock().
    
    Now reading /proc/mdstat will never block in md_seq_show.
