Like below. ?

Mingming,

I folded jbd2-tidy-up-revoe-cache-intialisation-and-destruction.patch
jbd2-fix-up-thinko-in-jbd2-revoke-code.patch in the patch queue to 
this.

jbd2: tidy up revoke cache initialisation and destruction

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.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 the code slightly.
