block: fix use-after-free bug in blk throttle code

blk_throtl_exit() frees the throttle data hanging off the queue
in blk_cleanup_queue(), but blk_put_queue() will indirectly
dereference this data when calling blk_sync_queue() which in
turns calls throtl_shutdown_timer_wq().

Fix this by moving the freeing of the throttle data to when
the queue is truly being released, and post the call to
blk_sync_queue().
