md: fix mddev->kobj lifetime
Once a kobject is initialized, the containing object should not be directly freed. So delay initialization until it is added. Also remove the kobject_del call as the last put will remove the kobject as well. The explicitly delete isn't needed here, and dropping it will simplify further fixes. With this md_free now does not need to check that ->gendisk is non-NULL as it is always set by the time that kobject_init is called on mddev->kobj.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
