[PATCH] dm: BUG/OOPS fix
Fix BUG I tripped on while testing failover and multipathing.
BUG shows up on error path in multipath_ctr() when parse_priority_group()
fails after returning at least once without error. The fix is to
initialize m->ti early - just after alloc()ing it.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
printing eip:
