    Subject[ 02/70] floppy: Cleanup disk->queue before caling put_disk() if add_disk() was never called
    3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

    commit 3f9a5aabd0a9fe0e0cd308506f48963d79169aa7 upstream.

    add_disk() takes gendisk reference on request queue. If driver failed during
    initialization and never called add_disk() then that extra reference is not
    taken. That reference is put in put_disk(). floppy driver allocates the
    disk, allocates queue, sets disk->queue and then relizes that floppy
    controller is not present. It tries to tear down everything and tries to
    put a reference down in put_disk() which was never taken.

    In such error cases cleanup disk->queue before calling put_disk() so that
    we never try to put down a reference which was never taken in first place.
