If the floppy_alloc_disk() failed, disks of current drive will not be set,
thus the lastest allocated set->tag cannot be freed in the error handling
path. A simple call graph shown as below:
floppy_module_init()
floppy_init()
do_floppy_init()
for (drive = 0; drive < N_DRIVE; drive++)
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set()
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set_tags()
blk_mq_realloc_tag_set_tags() # set->tag allocated
floppy_alloc_disk()
blk_mq_alloc_disk() # error occurred, disks failed to allocated
->out_put_disk:
for (drive = 0; drive < N_DRIVE; drive++)
if (!disks[drive][0]) # the last disks is not set and loop break
break;
blk_mq_free_tag_set() # the latest allocated set->tag leaked
Fix this problem by free the set->tag of current drive before jump to
error handling path.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
