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

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

From: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

commit 7f59203abeaf18bf3497b308891f95a4489810ad upstream.

Hit this problem while testing RAID1 failure stuff.  open_bdev_exclusive
returns ERR_PTR(), not NULL.  So change the return value properly.  This
is important if you accidently specify a device that doesn't exist when
trying to add a new device to an array, you will panic the box
dereferencing bdev.
