While probing, fd sets up queue, probes hardware and tears down the
queue if probing fails.  In the process, blk_drain_queue() kicks the
queue which failed to finish initialization and fd is unhappy about
that.

Avoid it by making blk_drain_queue() kick queue iff dispatch queue has
something on it.
