From: Li Nan <linan122 at huawei.com>

dev_err() outputs dev_name using 'kobject_name(&dev->kobj)' to notify
users about the device encountering an error. However, before initializing
device name, it will print error message with 'null' instead of the actual
device name, like this:
  block (null): ...
        ~~~~~~

This log is not clear enough to provide the necessary context for
identifying the device. Therefore, in the error handling path of
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() and idr_alloc(), where device name has not been
init yet, using pr_err() instead of dev_err() to print more details.
The improved error log is:
  ubiblock0_0: ...
