block: fix kobject double initialization in add_disk



Device-mapper can call add_disk() multiple times for the same gendisk
due to its two-phase creation process (dm create + dm load). This leads
to kobject double initialization errors when the underlying iSCSI devices
become temporarily unavailable and then reappear.

However, if the first add_disk() call fails and is retried, the queue_kobj
gets initialized twice, causing:

kobject: kobject (ffff88810c27bb90): tried to init an initialized object,
something is seriously wrong.
 Call Trace:

Fix this by separating kobject initialization from sysfs registration:
 - Initialize queue_kobj early during gendisk allocation
 - add_disk() only adds the already-initialized kobject to sysfs
 - del_gendisk() removes from sysfs but doesn't destroy the kobject
 - Final cleanup happens when the disk is released
