Subject: loop: fix crash if blk_alloc_queue fails

commit 3ec981e30fae1f3c8728a05c730acaa1f627bcfb upstream.

loop: fix crash if blk_alloc_queue fails

If blk_alloc_queue fails, loop_add cleans up, but it doesn't clean up the
identifier allocated with idr_alloc. That causes crash on module unload in
idr_for_each(&loop_index_idr, &loop_exit_cb, NULL); where we attempt to
remove non-existed device with that id.
