Subject: [PATCH 5.8 169/186] dm cache metadata: Avoid returning cmd->bm wild pointer on error

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@...wei.com>

commit d16ff19e69ab57e08bf908faaacbceaf660249de upstream.

Maybe __create_persistent_data_objects() caller will use PTR_ERR as a
pointer, it will lead to some strange things.
