md: fix possible oops when removing a bitmap from an active array

It is possible to add a write-intent bitmap to an active array, or remove
the bitmap that is there.

When we do with the 'quiesce' the array, which causes make_request to
block in "wait_barrier()".

However we are sampling the value of "mddev->bitmap" before the
wait_barrier call, and using it afterwards.  This can result in using a
bitmap structure that has been freed.
