Subject: [ 88/95] dm thin metadata: remove incorrect close_device on creation error paths

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

commit 1f3db25d8be4ac50b897b39609802183ea68a514 upstream.

The __open_device() error paths in __create_thin() and __create_snap()
incorrectly call __close_device() even if td was not initialized by
__open_device().  Remove this.

Also document __open_device() return values, remove a redundant
td->changed = 1 in __create_thin(), and insert an additional
safeguard against creating an already-existing device.
