Subject: dm: free io_barrier after blk_cleanup_queue call

From: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com>

commit d09960b0032174eb493c4c13be5b9c9ef36dc9a7 upstream.

dm_old_request_fn() has paths that access md->io_barrier.  The party
destroying io_barrier should ensure that no future execution of
dm_old_request_fn() is possible.  Move io_barrier destruction to below
blk_cleanup_queue() to ensure this and avoid a NULL pointer crash during
request-based DM device shutdown.
