Subject: [PATCH 2/3] block: don't delete queue kobject before its children

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

kobjects aren't supposed to be deleted before their child kobjects are
deleted.  Apparently this is usually benign; however, a WARN will be
triggered if one of the child kobjects has a named attribute group:

    sysfs group 'modes' not found for kobject 'crypto'
    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:278 sysfs_remove_group+0x72/0x80
    ...
    Call Trace:
      sysfs_remove_groups+0x29/0x40 fs/sysfs/group.c:312

      del_gendisk+0x117/0x250 block/genhd.c:610

Fix this by moving the kobject_del() and the corresponding
kobject_uevent() to the correct place.

Fixes: 2c2086afc2b8 ("block: Protect less code with sysfs_lock in blk_{un,}register_queue()")
