drbd: cleanup bogus assert message
This fixes ASSERT( mdev->state.disk == D_FAILED ) in drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c
When we detach from local disk, we let the local refcount hit zero twice.
First, we transition to D_FAILED, so we won't give out new references
to incoming requests; we still may give out *internal* references, though.
Once the refcount hits zero [1] while in D_FAILED, we queue a transition
to D_DISKLESS to our worker. We need to queue it, because we may be in
atomic context when putting the reference.
Once the transition to D_DISKLESS actually happened [2] from worker context,
we don't give out new internal references either.
Between hitting zero the first time [1] and actually transition to
D_DISKLESS [2], there may be a few very short lived internal get/put,
so we may hit zero more than once while being in D_FAILED, or even see a
race where a an internal get_ldev() happened while D_FAILED, but the
corresponding put_ldev() happens just after the transition to D_DISKLESS.
That's why we have the additional test_and_set_bit(GO_DISKLESS,);
and that's why the assert was placed wrong.
Since there was exactly one code path left to drbd_go_diskless(),
and that checks already for D_FAILED, drop that assert,
and fold in the drbd_queue_work().
