Hi,

Just wanted to post an additional patch to fix segmentation fault with 
mdadm that was missed by eb28e119b03fd5149886ed516fa4bb006ad3602e.

Regards,
Jonathan

Subject: [PATCH] 0.90 array do not report the metadata type in /proc/mdstat,
 so we cannot assume that mse->metadata_version is non-NULL.

So add an appropriate check.

Adds an additional check missed by commit eb28e119b03fd5149886ed516fa4bb006ad3602e.
