Subject: dm rq: cope with DM device destruction while in dm_old_request_fn()

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

commit 4087a1fffe38106e10646606a27f10d40451862d upstream.

Fixes a crash in dm_table_find_target() due to a NULL struct dm_table
being passed from dm_old_request_fn() that races with DM device
destruction.
