floppy: fix another use-after-free

Browse source 
While scanning the floopy code due to c093ee4f07 ("floppy: fix
use-after-free in module load failure path"), I found one more instance
of trying to access disk->queue pointer after doing put_disk() on
gendisk.  For some reason , floppy moule still loads/unloads fine.  The
object is probably still around with right pointer values.

 o There seems to be one more instance of trying to cleanup the request
   queue after we have called put_disk() on associated gendisk.

 o This fix is more out of code inspection.  Even without this fix for
   some reason I am able to load/unload floppy module without any
   issues.

 o Floppy module loads/unloads fine after the fix.
