Subject: dm era: check for a non-NULL metadata object before closing it
From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>
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.
