[patch 30/30] dm: sysfs skip output when device is being destroyed

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Milan Broz <mbroz@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4d89b7b4e4726893453d0fb4ddbb5b3e16353994 upstream.

Do not process sysfs attributes when device is being destroyed.

Otherwise code can cause
  BUG_ON(test_bit(DMF_FREEING, &md->flags));
in dm_put() call.
