[PATCH v3] ubi: block: fix null-pointer-dereference in ubiblock_create()

From: linan666

From: Li Nan <linan122@xxxxxxxxxx>

Similar to commit adbf4c4954e3 ("ubi: block: fix memleak in
ubiblock_create()"), 'dev->gd' is not assigned but dereferenced if
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() fails, and leading to a null-pointer-dereference.
Fix it by using pr_err() and variable 'dev' to print error log.

Additionally, the log in the error handle path of idr_alloc() has
been improved by using pr_err(), too. Before initializing device
name, using dev_err() will print error log with 'null' instead of
the actual device name, like this:
block (null): ...
~~~~~~
It is unclear. Using pr_err() can print more details of the device.
The improved log is:
ubiblock0_0: ...

Fixes: 77567b25ab9f ("ubi: use blk_mq_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk")

v3: spliting this patch into two in v2 is not a good idea. This version
is consistent with v1, but only optimizes the commit message.
