Subject: [PATCH] Fix mdflush on RHEL9

Since kernel commit 309dca309fc ("block: store a block_device pointer

in struct bio") struct bio points again to a block_device and not to a

gendisk directly. However mdflush is looking at the presence or not of

the bio_dev macro to check whether to get the gendisk directly from

the bio or not, which doesn't work anymore since the bio_dev macro

still exists. Since we don't have to deal other ekrnel kernel version

but our own, just use the definition that we use in our kernels.
