Subject: [PATCH] dm thin metadata:  Avoid returning cmd->bm wild pointer on
 error
Git-commit: 219403d7e56f9b716ad80ab87db85d29547ee73e
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc4
References: git fixes

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