[dm-devel] [PATCH] Fix using of possible uninitialised params struct (secure flag)

[Milan Broz]

If copy_param() fails, we cannot trust param structure,
so access it only if this call returned success.

Bug introduced in patch adding secure flag to dm-ioctl (currently in linux-next).

Found during regression tests.
