Yes, I saw the same thing here, destroy_workqueue should be done before
clearing the queue (blk_cleanup_queue) indeed. user_reset_fdc called
process_fd_request and that scheduled redo_fd_request, that tries to
take the queue already cleaned up in set_next_request I expect.

This should go right after the out_put_disk label, otherwise we may
leak the floppy_wq on early error.
