4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx>
commit 7277cc67b3916eed47558c64f9c9c0de00a35cda upstream.
Since put_disk() triggers a disk_release() call and since that
last function calls blk_put_queue() if disk->queue != NULL, clear
the disk->queue pointer before calling put_disk(). This avoids
that unloading the skd kernel module triggers the following
use-after-free:
