Subject: Re: dm: Return correct value in retry loop

Thanks for the patch, I've picked it up as a stable@ fix for either
4.8-rc7 or when the 4.9 merge windw opens (I'm leaning toward the latter
since this issue has been around since 3.19 was released and there
aren't any known problems/reports related to this oversight).

Please see:
