CVE-2025-68368

md: init bioset in mddev_init

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

md: init bioset in mddev_init

IO operations may be needed before md_run(), such as updating metadata
after writing sysfs. Without bioset, this triggers a NULL pointer
dereference as below:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
 Call Trace:
  md_update_sb+0x658/0xe00
  new_level_store+0xc5/0x120
  md_attr_store+0xc9/0x1e0
  sysfs_kf_write+0x6f/0xa0

  do_syscall_64+0xa9/0x580
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

Reproducer
```
  mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/sd[cd]
  echo inactive > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
  echo 10 > /sys/block/md0/md/new_level
```

mddev_init() can only be called once per mddev, no need to test if bioset
has been initialized anymore.
