libnvdimm, pmem: fix a NULL pointer BUG in nd_pmem_notify



The following BUG was observed when nd_pmem_notify() was called
for a BTT device.  The use of a pmem_device pointer is not valid
with BTT.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000030
 IP: nd_pmem_notify+0x30/0xf0 [nd_pmem]
 Call Trace:
  nd_device_notify+0x40/0x50

  device_for_each_child+0x50/0x90
  nd_region_notify+0x20/0x30

Fix nd_pmem_notify() by setting nd_region and badblocks pointers
properly for BTT.
