 blk-mq: fix use of incorrect goto label in blk_mq_init_queue error path

for some reason has moved queue allocation 'q = blk_alloc_queue_node()'
after 'percpu_ref_init(&q->mq_usage_counter...)', so we are doing percpu
init on something that is not a request_queue.

 blk-mq: add blk_mq_init_allocated_queue and export

has introduced abother issue.
In blk_mq_init_queue() we allocate new request_queue:

       uninit_q = blk_alloc_queue_node(GFP_KERNEL, set->numa_node);
       if (!uninit_q)
               return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

and pass `uninit_q' as a 'request_queue *q' parameter to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue():

       q = blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(set, uninit_q);

blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), however, firstly use passed `uninit_q' to init
its percpu, but then it allocates a new request_queue and returns it back,
not being properly initialized:

blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(struct blk_mq_tag_set *set, struct request_queue *q)
[..]
       if (percpu_ref_init(&q->mq_usage_counter, blk_mq_usage_counter_release,
                            PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC, GFP_KERNEL))
               goto err_hctxs;

       q = blk_alloc_queue_node(GFP_KERNEL, set->numa_node);
       if (!q)
               goto err_hctxs;

[..]
       return q;

Which eventually leads to different problems, including a NULL pointer
dereference.

Remove blk_alloc_queue_node() from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() and use
supplied request_queue.
