Subject: [PATCH] md: Avoid write invalid address if read_seqretry returned
 true.

commit 35f9ac2dcec8f79d7059ce174fd7b7ee3290d620 upstream.

If read_seqretry returned true and bbp was changed, it will write
invalid address which can cause some serious problem.

This bug was introduced by commit v3.0-rc7-130-g2699b67.
So fix is suitable for 3.0.y thru 3.6.y.
