libnvdimm, region: fix flush hint detection crash

Browse Source 
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
