There is a null-ptr-deref when testing the ubiblock tools:

  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000040-0x0000000000000047]

when blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() returns an error, the dev->gd is
uninitialized, that causing null-ptr-deref fault.

Fix it by replacing the disk_to_dev(dev->gd) with NULL, that
will printk "(NULL device *): ..." message if blk_mq_alloc_tag_set()
returns an error.

Fixes: 77567b25ab9f ("ubi: use blk_mq_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk")
