Fix a modprobe virtio_blk ; rmmod virtio_blk ; modprobe virtio_blk crash; this
was basically because we weren't doing "del_gendisk()" in the remove path.

Thanks Chris, it seems reasonable and I'm sure it works (kinda hard to test
here, it's my root block dev). Other drivers seem to do blk_cleanup_queue()
*after* del_gendisk: does it matter?
Jens CC'd: he's gentle with my dumb questions...
Rusty.

del_gendisk() can generate IO, so it would seem safer to do that
_before_ putting the queue reference :-)

Ah, good to know. Out of curiousity, why would del_gendisk() generate
additional I/O?

Thanks Jens. Chris, I've fixed that up here.
Cheers,
