Without this, if I insmod loop and then immediately rmmod loop,
del_timer() calls check_timer_failed(), which generates warnings in
the kernel log.

In normal cases, the timer is initialized in blk_queue_make_request(),
but that function is not called if you don't use the loop device
before unloading the module. Maybe there is a better way to get rid of
this warning.
