[PATCH 2/2] md/raid5: fix NULL pointer dereference in raid5_free_percpu

[ghuicao]

From: Cao Guanghui <caoguanghui@xxxxxxxxxx>

If cpuhp_state_add_instance() fails in raid5_alloc_percpu() (e.g., the
startup callback raid456_cpu_up_prepare fails due to an allocation
failure), conf->node is never added to the cpuhp instance list and
its pprev remains NULL (from kzalloc initialization).

When setup_conf() then jumps to abort, free_conf() calls
raid5_free_percpu(), which checks conf->percpu (non-NULL, since it was
allocated before the cpuhp failure) and proceeds to call
cpuhp_state_remove_instance().  This calls hlist_del() on the unhashed
node, which dereferences node->pprev (NULL), causing a kernel panic.

Guard the removal with hlist_unhashed() so that the cpuhp instance is
only removed if it was actually added.
