Subject[PATCH] loop: queue_lock NULL pointer derefence in blk_throtl_exit (v3)
Performing
$ sudo mount -o loop -o umask=0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

$ sudo modprobe -r loop

results in oops:

because of an attempt to acquire NULL queue_lock.
Added the same lines as in blk_queue_make_request -
`fall back to embedded per-queue lock' - when call blk_release_queue on
allocated but not initialized queue.

v2: According to comment by Vivek Goyal, queue_lock NULL check and fix moved
out from loop driver code to blk_release_queue, which is more general
approach.
