rbd: avoid dropping extra reference in rbd_free_disk()
I found during some failure injection testing that the call to rbd_free_disk() in the error path of rbd_dev_probe_finish() was dropping an extra reference to the disk queue. The problem occurred when put_disk tried to drop a reference to the disk's queue. A call to blk_cleanup_queue() just prior to that will have also dropped a reference to the queue. The problem is that the reference dropped by put_disk() is assumed to have been taken by add_disk(). Our code has error paths that can occur after the disk and its queue are initialized, but before the call to add_disk(), and in those paths we won't have that extra reference. The fix is easy though. In rbd_free_disk() we're already checking the disk's GENHD_FL_UP flag. That flag is an indication that add_disk() has been called, so just call blk_cleanup_queue() conditional on that flag being set.
