Now blk_cleanup_queue() can be called before calling

So this patch moves freeing of hctx->ctxs into queue's
release handler for fixing the oops reported by Stefan.

Also ctx's kobject is embedded into each ctx pointed by
hctx->ctxs[], which shouldn't have been released so early.

Hammm, the above line is wrong and should be removed, and
hctx->ctxs[] just stores the pointer of ctx.

Jens, if you need v1, please let me know.

Yeah, lets respin it please.
