[PATCH 5.14 321/334] md/raid10: Remove unnecessary rcu_dereference in raid10_handle_discard

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Xiao Ni <xni@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 46d4703b1db4c86ab5acb2331b10df999f005e8e upstream.

We are seeing the following warning in raid10_handle_discard.
[  695.110751] =============================
[  695.131439] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
[  695.151389] 4.18.0-319.el8.x86_64+debug #1 Not tainted
[  695.174413] -----------------------------
[  695.192603] drivers/md/raid10.c:1776 suspicious
rcu_dereference_check() usage!
[  695.225107] other info that might help us debug this:
[  695.260940] rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
[  695.290157] no locks held by mkfs.xfs/10186.

In the first loop of function raid10_handle_discard. It already
determines which disk need to handle discard request and add the
rdev reference count rdev->nr_pending. So the conf->mirrors will
not change until all bios come back from underlayer disks. It
doesn't need to use rcu_dereference to get rdev.
