Subject: [PATCH v3] mdadm: monitor: fix nullptr dereference when get_md_name() returns NULL

Subject: [PATCH] mdadm: monitor: fix nullptr dereference when get_md_name()
 returns NULL

Function add_new_arrays() expects that function get_md_name() should
return pointer to devname, but also get_md_name() may return NULL. So
check the pointer before use it in add_new_arrays().

v2 -> v3: - continue instead of return
          - avoid mem leak (thanks to David F.)
v1 -> v2: more verbose commit message
