floppy: fix another use-after-free
While scanning the floopy code due to c093ee4f07f4 ("floppy: fix use-after-free in module load failure path"), I found one more instance of trying to access disk->queue pointer after doing put_disk() on gendisk. For some reason , floppy moule still loads/unloads fine. The object is probably still around with right pointer values. o There seems to be one more instance of trying to cleanup the request queue after we have called put_disk() on associated gendisk. o This fix is more out of code inspection. Even without this fix for some reason I am able to load/unload floppy module without any issues. o Floppy module loads/unloads fine after the fix.
