q->nr_hw_queues must only be updated once it is known that
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() has succeeded. Otherwise it can happen that
reallocation fails and that q->nr_hw_queues is larger than the number of
allocated hardware queues. This patch fixes the following crash if
increasing the number of hardware queues fails:

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
