skd: Avoid that module unloading triggers a use-after-free
commit 7277cc67b3916eed47558c64f9c9c0de00a35cda upstream. Since put_disk() triggers a disk_release() call and since that last function calls blk_put_queue() if disk->queue != NULL, clear the disk->queue pointer before calling put_disk(). This avoids that unloading the skd kernel module triggers the following use-after-free: WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 297 at lib/refcount.c:128 refcount_sub_and_test+0x70/0x80 refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
