Subject: null_blk: add lightnvm null_blk device to the nullb_list

From: Wenwei Tao <[email protected]>

commit 3681c85dffda70e551dead31c8d102bd69033fe8 upstream.

After register null_blk devices into lightnvm, we forget to add these devices to the the nullb_list, makes them invisible to the null_blk driver.

Fixes a514379b0c77 ("null_blk: oops when initializing without lightnvm")
