6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christoph Böhmwalder <christoph.boehmwalder@linbit.com>

commit 0d195d3b205ca90db30d70d09d7bb6909aac178f upstream.

In drbd_request_endio(), READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR is passed to
__req_mod() with a NULL peer_device:

__req_mod(req, what, NULL, &m);

The READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR handler then unconditionally passes this
NULL peer_device to drbd_set_out_of_sync(), which dereferences it,
causing a null-pointer dereference.

Fix this by obtaining the peer_device via first_peer_device(device),
matching how drbd_req_destroy() handles the same situation.
