I think the issue is because of line 2827, that is, the q->nr_hw_queues is
updated too earlier. It is still possible the init would fail later.

Which kernel tree does this syzbot report refer to? Commit
d0930bb8f46b ("blk-mq: Fix a recently introduced regression in
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs()") in Jens' tree removed line 2827 shown above.

Thanks,

Bart.
