Subject: [PATCH][next] null_blk: Fix null pointer dereference on nullb->disk on blk_cleanup_disk call

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The error handling on a nullb->disk allocation currently jumps to
out_cleanup_disk that calls blk_cleanup_disk with a null pointer causing
a null pointer dereference issue. Fix this by jumping to out_cleanup_tags
instead.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: 132226b301b5 ("null_blk: convert to blk_alloc_disk/blk_cleanup_disk")
