So here is a suggestion, register_bm again
if we found nvm_dev->bm == NULL in create_target(). And if it is still
NULL after that. return an error "nvm: no compatible bm was found"
and stop target creating. Otherwise, there would be a NULL Pointer
reference problem.

That's a real problem I met in my testing and I did this change
in my local using. I hope that's useful to you.

Hi Yang,

Similar to this?

Okey, I attached two changes in my local using. I hope that
useful to you.
