The queue_to_disk() helper can not be used after del_gendisk()
communicate @disk via the pgmap->owner.

Otherwise, queue_to_disk() returns NULL resulting in the splat below.

 Kernel attempted to read user page (330) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
 BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000330
 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000906344
