libnvdimm, region: fix flush hint detection crash

commit bc042fdfbb92b5b13421316b4548e2d6e98eed37 upstream.

In the case where a dimm does not have any associated flush hints the
ndrd->flush_wpq array may be uninitialized leading to crashes with the
following signature:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010
