Subject: [PATCH] block: fix queue_lock NULL pointer derefence in blk_throtl_exit (v4)
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:30:05 +0200	[thread overview]

block: fix queue_lock NULL pointer derefence in blk_throtl_exit

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004

because of an attempt to acquire NULL queue_lock.   
Added the same lines as in blk_queue_make_request: 
'fall back to embedded per-queue lock' - when call blk_release_queue on
allocated but never initialized queue.

v4:
Incremental patch to move fall back to embedded per-queue lock from loop_free
to blk_release_queue, because v1 patch was accidentally applied.

v3: According to comment by Vivek Goyal, queue_lock NULL check and fix moved
out from loop driver code to blk_release_queue.
