[PATCH 09/15] block, pmem: fix null pointer de-reference on shutdown, check for queue death

[Dan Williams]

After the driver has been unbound the queue is dead and the private data
pointer is invalid.  Check that the queue is still alive, or otherwise
pin it active before using queuedata.

Fixes crash signatures like the following.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880140000000
