[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 53/80] dm cache: fix missing ERR_PTR returns and handling

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 766a78882ddf79b162243649d7dfdbac1fb6fb88 upstream.

Commit 9b1cc9f251 ("dm cache: share cache-metadata object across
inactive and active DM tables") mistakenly ignored the use of ERR_PTR
returns.  Restore missing IS_ERR checks and ERR_PTR returns where
appropriate.
