aoe: remove vestigial request queue allocation
Before the aoe driver was an I/O request handler, it was a
make_request-style block driver. Even so, there was a problem where
sysfs expected a request queue to exist, so one was provided in commit
7135a71b19be ("aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs").
During the transition to the request-handler style, a patch was merged
that was based on a driver without the noop queue, and the noop queue
remained in place after the patch was merged, even though a new
functional queue was introduced by the patch, allocated through
blk_init_queue.
The user impact is a memory leak proportional to the number of AoE
targets discovered. This patch removes the memory leak and cleans up
vestiges of the old do-nothing queue from the aoeblk_gdalloc function.
