[220/272] md_make_request: dont touch the bio after calling make_request

From: Greg KH

2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Chris Mason <chris.mason@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e91ece5590b3c728624ab57043fc7a05069c604a upstream.

md_make_request was calling bio_sectors() for part_stat_add
after it was calling the make_request function. This is
bad because the make_request function can free the bio and
because the bi_size field can change around.

The fix here was suggested by Jens Axboe. It saves the
sector count before the make_request call. I hit this
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned on while trying to break
his pretty fusionio card.
