+AD4- Memory is allocated for q-+AD4-fq in the blk+AF8-init+AF8-allocated+AF8-queue().
+AD4- If the elevator init function called with error return, it will

+AD4- Then the +AF8AXw-blk+AF8-drain+AF8-queue() uses the same memory after the free

+AD4- The patch is to set q-+AD4-fq as NULL in the fail case of
+AD4- blk+AF8-init+AF8-allocated+AF8-queue().
