Subject: [PATCH] dm: check era->md is non-NULL before closing it

In era_ctr(), era->md remain NULL until it's set after metadata_open().
On the other hand, era_destroy() assume era->md is non-NULL and it is
called by era_ctr() before initializing the value.

This patch just checks if era->md is non-NULL.
