Subject: [RFC PATCH] blk-mq: fix failure case of blk_mq_init_allocated_queue

Generally blk_cleanup_queue() is called for cleaning up
the request queue, just like what blk_mq_init_queue() does,
so blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() should return failue
simply in case blk_mq_init_hw_queues() fails, otherwise
double-free may be triggered.

Mike, DM may need to follow the rule, otherwise
the request queue can't be reused after failure is
returned from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() since
both wrong queue type and memory leak can be caused .

Or do blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() need to recover
the queue to previous state in case of failure?
