Subject: jbd: tidy up revoke cache initialisation and destruction
From: "Duane Griffin" <duaneg@...da.com>

Make revocation cache destruction safe to call if initialisation fails
partially or entirely.  This allows it to be used to cleanup in the case
of initialisation failure, simplifying that code slightly.
