block: blk_init_allocated_queue() set q->fq as NULL in the fail case

CVE-2018-20856

We find the memory use-after-free issue in __blk_drain_queue()
on the kernel 4.14. After read the latest kernel 4.18-rc6 we
think it has the same problem.

Memory is allocated for q->fq in the blk_init_allocated_queue().
If the elevator init function called with error return, it will
run into the fail case to free the q->fq.

Then the __blk_drain_queue() uses the same memory after the free
of the q->fq, it will lead to the unpredictable event.

The patch is to set q->fq as NULL in the fail case of
blk_init_allocated_queue().

Fixes: commit 7c94e1c1 ("block: introduce blk_flush_queue to drive flush machinery")

[ Connor Kuehl: had to place the line from the patch in manually since
  the patch context disagreed with what the routine looks like now
  (different label, different return statement). Barely more involved
  than an offset adjustment. ]
