Subject: [PATCH] rd: memory leak on rd_init() failure

If RAM disk driver initialization fails due to blk_alloc_queue() faulure,
the gendisk structs stored in rd_disks[] will not be freed completely.

This patch resolves that memory leak case by doing alloc_disk() and
blk_alloc_queue() at the same time.
