md: raid10: Fix null pointer dereference in fix_read_error()

Such NULL pointer dereference can occur when the driver was fixing the
read errors/bad blocks and the disk was physically removed
causing a system crash. This patch check if the
rcu_dereference() returns valid rdev before accessing it in fix_read_error().
