block: don't call blk_drain_queue() if elevator is not up
blk_cleanup_queue() may be called before elevator is set up on a queue which triggers the following oops. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff8125a69c>] elv_drain_elevator+0x1c/0x70 ... Pid: 830, comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 3.1.0-next-20111025_64+ #1590 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8125a69c>] [<ffffffff8125a69c>] elv_drain_elevator+0x1c/0x70 ...
