block: stop the timeout timer when releasing a never added disk

disk_release() undoes blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() for a disk whose
probe failed before add_disk(), but it only calls blk_mq_exit_queue().
Nothing there stops q->timeout, and that timer rolls forward: it stays
pending until it next expires, not until the last request completes.
So if the driver issued any I/O before adding the disk, the
request_queue is freed while still linked into a timer wheel bucket.

Commit 6f8191fdf41d ("block: simplify disk shutdown") dropped the
blk_cleanup_queue() call that used to stop it.  __del_gendisk() and
blk_mq_destroy_queue() still do; only the probe failure path lost it.

nvme gets there because nvme_update_ns_info() submits Report Zones or
FDP io-mgmt-recv on ns->queue before the disk is added, so a later
failure - a concurrent reset setting NVME_CTRL_FROZEN, or
device_add_disk() failing - lands in put_disk() with the timer armed:

The queue being synced there is ctrl->admin_q, only a victim sharing a
timer wheel bucket with the freed queue's dangling entry; other runs
tripped in enqueue_timer(), __run_timers() or blk_mq_timeout_work().
Failing nvme_alloc_ns() with a debug patch makes it deterministic: one
leaked timer trips KASAN within seconds, while 1987 patched releases
produced no splat.

Stop the timer and the queue work items before blk_mq_exit_queue(), like
blk_mq_destroy_queue() does.
