cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches 

When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq.  The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:

    - elevator switch from cfq to something else;
    - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
      on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
    - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
    - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).

To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code.  The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.
