Ming Lei 153fcd5f6d block: brd: associate with queue until adding disk
brd_free() may be called in failure path on one brd instance which
disk isn't added yet, so release handler of gendisk may free the
associated request_queue early and causes the following use-after-free[1].

This patch fixes this issue by associating gendisk with request_queue
just before adding disk.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
