Subject: [PATCH v2] ceph: fix possible null-pointer dereference in ceph_mdsmap_decode()

kcalloc() is called to allocate memory for m->m_info, and if it fails,
ceph_mdsmap_destroy() behind the label out_err will be called:
  ceph_mdsmap_destroy(m);

In ceph_mdsmap_destroy(), m->m_info is dereferenced through:
  kfree(m->m_info[i].export_targets);

To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, check m->m_info before the 
for loop to free m->m_info[i].export_targets.

v2:
* Put an "if (m->m_info)" around the for loop in ceph_mdsmap_destroy()
instead of freeing m and returning -ENOMEM in ceph_mdsmap_decode().
  Thank Jeff Layton for helpful advice.
