Security fix:
* a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Multiple Devices (md)
driver in the Linux kernel. If the suspend_lo or suspend_hi file on the
sysfs file system (/sys/) is modified when the disk array is inactive, it
could lead to a local denial of service or privilege escalation. Note: By
default, only the root user can write to the files mentioned above.
