drbd: fix possible access after free

If we release the page pointed to by md_io_tmpp, we need to zero out the
pointer, too, as that may be used later to decide whether we need to
allocate a new page again.

Impact: a previously freed page may be used and clobbered.  Depending on
what that particular page is being used for meanwhile, this may result
in silent data corruption of completely unrelated things.

Only of concern on devices with logical_block_size != 512 byte,
if you re-attach after becoming diskless once.
