3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@umn.edu>

commit e406f12dde1a8375d77ea02d91f313fb1a9c6aec upstream.

mddev->sync_thread can be set to NULL on kzalloc failure downstream.
The patch checks for such a scenario and frees allocated resources.

Committer node:

Added similar fix to raid5.c, as suggested by Guoqing.
