Subject: [PATCH 3.15 063/122] dm era: check for a non-NULL metadata object before closing it

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

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

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@...hat.com>

commit 989f26f5ad308f40a95f280bf9cd75e558d4f18d upstream.

era_ctr() may call era_destroy() before era->md is initialized so
era_destory() must only close the metadata object if it is not NULL.
