Subject[patch 17/24] md: avoid dereferencing NULL pointer when accessing suspend_* sysfs attributes.
2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

commit b8d966efd9a46a9a35beac50cbff6e30565125ef upstream.

If we try to modify one of the md/ sysfs files
suspend_lo or suspend_hi
when the array is not active, we dereference a NULL.
Protect against that.
