NeilBrown 9356863c94 md: ensure md devices are freed before module is unloaded. 
Commit: cbd1998377 ("md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms")
change mddev_put() so that it would not destroy an md device while
->ctime was non-zero.

Unfortunately, we didn't make sure to clear ->ctime when unloading
the module, so it is possible for an md device to remain after
module unload.  An attempt to open such a device will trigger
an invalid memory reference in:
  get_gendisk -> kobj_lookup -> exact_lock -> get_disk

when tring to access disk->fops, which was in the module that has
been removed.

So ensure we clear ->ctime in md_exit(), and explain how that is useful,
as it isn't immediately obvious when looking at the code.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
