Chen Zhongjin fa81cbafbf block: Fix possible memory leak for rq_wb on add_disk failure
kmemleak reported memory leaks in device_add_disk():

kmemleak: 3 new suspected memory leaks

unreferenced object 0xffff88800f420800 (size 512):
  comm "modprobe", pid 4275, jiffies 4295639067 (age 223.512s)

    [<0000000060e6aab0>] nbd_dev_add+0x828/0xbf0 [nbd]
    ...

It is because the memory allocated in wbt_enable_default() is not
released in device_add_disk() error path.
Normally, these memory are freed in:

del_gendisk()
  rq_qos_exit()
    rqos->ops->exit(rqos);
      wbt_exit()

So rq_qos_exit() is called to free the rq_wb memory for wbt_init().
However in the error path of device_add_disk(), only
blk_unregister_queue() is called and make rq_wb memory leaked.

Add rq_qos_exit() to the error path to fix it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
