nvmet: reject namespace enable without device path

Browse source

A newly allocated namespace has a NULL device_path until userspace
configures the device_path attribute.

If buffered_io is enabled before device_path is configured,
nvmet_bdev_ns_enable() returns -ENOTBLK and nvmet_ns_enable() falls
back to nvmet_file_ns_enable(). The latter passes the NULL
device_path to filp_open(), causing a NULL pointer dereference in
getname_kernel().

Reject namespace enable when device_path has not been configured.
