Description of problem
======================

Skyring crashes when mongodb auth fails.

While I understand that skyring requires mongodb to function properly,
null pointer error crash of skyring process is an unacceptable way to
handle this kind error state.

Version-Release number of selected component
============================================

# rpm -qa | grep rhscon
rhscon-ui-0.0.6-0.1.alpha1.el7.noarch
rhscon-core-0.0.6-0.1.alpha1.el7.x86_64
rhscon-ceph-0.0.4-0.1.alpha1.el7.x86_64
# rpm -qa | grep mongo
mongodb-server-2.6.5-4.el7ost.x86_64
mongodb-2.6.5-4.el7ost.x86_64

How reproducible
================

100%

Steps to Reproduce
==================

1. Install skyring on the server
2. Make sure that mongod service is running: `systemctl start mongod`
3. Configure mongodb so that skyring auth will fail
4. Start skyring: `setsid skyring > ~/skyring.log 2>&1`
5. Check /root/skyring.log file

note: in step 3, I start skyring daemon process manually because of BZ 1296123

Actual results
==============

Skyring process crashes. See this excerpt from skyring.log:

~~~
2016-01-15T17:44:09.343+01:00 INFO     main.go:177 start] Starting event listener
2016-01-15T17:44:09.379+01:00 CRITICAL db.go:41 InitDBSession] Error: auth failed
2016-01-15T17:44:09.379+01:00 ERROR    main.go:188 start] Unable to initialize DB
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x4849b4]
~~~

(full skyring.log file is attached to this BZ)

Expected results
================

Skyring process reports the issue in the log properly without crashing 
(and then stops if there is nothing else to do).
