Re: [PATCH] md-cluster: Fix potential error pointer dereference in resize_bitmaps()

The error handling calls md_bitmap_free(bitmap) which checks for NULL
but will Oops if we pass an error pointer.  Let's set "bitmap" to NULL
on this error path.

BTW, seems there could be memory leak in the function since it keeps
allocate bitmap
in the loop ..., will send a format patch.
