[plasmaroo@gentoo.org]: Patch backported from 2.4.22-pre9...

Because an md array may not exist yet when the device it opened, the ->active
count, which is incremented on opening if the array exists, is not 100% reliable.
This patch changes md to test inode->i_bdev->bd_openers rather than mddev->active
to test if an array is still in used before stopping it.
