[patch -next] blk-mq: NULL dereference in __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps()

From: Dan Carpenter

We shouldn't set "set->tags" to NULL here because if we return -ENOMEM
here then we call the function a second time. On the second time
through the loop then the statement:

set->tags[i] = blk_mq_init_rq_map(set, i);

will Oops. Also it is a memory leak and a layering violation. There is
a correct call to kfree(set->tags) in blk_mq_alloc_tag_set().
