Subject: [PATCH 4.14 068/109] dm cache: destroy migration_cache if cache target registration failed

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

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

From: Shenghui Wang <shhuiw@...mail.com>

commit c7cd55504a5b0fc826a2cd9540845979d24ae542 upstream.

Commit 7e6358d244e47 ("dm: fix various targets to dm_register_target
after module __init resources created") inadvertently introduced this
bug when it moved dm_register_target() after the call to KMEM_CACHE().

Fixes: 7e6358d244e47 ("dm: fix various targets to dm_register_target after module __init resources created")
