floppy: fix add_disk() assumption on exit due to new developments
After the patch titled "floppy: use blk_mq_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk" the floppy driver was modified to allocate the blk_mq_alloc_disk() which allocates the disk with the queue. This is further clarified later with the patch titled "block: remove alloc_disk and alloc_disk_node". This clarifies that: Most drivers should use and have been converted to use blk_alloc_disk and blk_mq_alloc_disk. Only the scsi ULPs and dasd still allocate a disk separately from the request_queue so don't bother with convenience macros for something that should not see significant new users and remove these wrappers. And then we have the patch titled, "block: hold a request_queue reference for the lifetime of struct gendisk" which ensures that a queue is *always* present for sure during the entire lifetime of a disk. In the floppy driver's case then the disk always comes with the queue. So even if even if the queue was cleaned up on exit, putting the disk *is* still required, and likewise, blk_cleanup_queue() on a null queue should not happen now as disk->queue is valid from disk allocation time on. Automatic backport code scrapers should hopefully not cherry pick this patch as a stable fix candidate without full due dilligence to ensure all the work done on the block layer to make this happen is merged first.
