[ Upstream commit 46ef85f854dfa9d5226b3c1c46493d79556c9589 ]

A General Protection Fault occurs in write_page() during array resize:
RIP: 0010:write_page+0x22b/0x3c0 [md_mod]

This is a use-after-free race between bitmap_daemon_work() and
__bitmap_resize(). The daemon iterates over `bitmap->storage.filemap`
without locking, while the resize path frees that storage via
md_bitmap_file_unmap(). `quiesce()` does not stop the md thread,
allowing concurrent access to freed pages.

Fix by holding `mddev->bitmap_info.mutex` during the bitmap update.
