[md PATCH 19/23] md/bitmap: remove some pointless locking.

[NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>]

There is nothing gained by holding a lock while we check if a pointer
is NULL or not.  If there could be a race, then it could become NULL
immediately after the unlock - but there is no race here.

So just remove the locking.
