block: Ensure that a request queue is dissociated from the cgroup con…

Several block drivers call alloc_disk() followed by put_disk() if
something fails before device_add_disk() is called without calling
blk_cleanup_queue(). Make sure that also for this scenario a request
queue is dissociated from the cgroup controller. This patch avoids
that loading the parport_pc, paride and pf drivers triggers the
following kernel crash:
