Commit 99e6608c9e74 "block: Add badblock management for gendisks"
allowed for drivers like pmem and software-raid to advertise a list of
bad media areas. However, it inadvertently added a 'badblocks' to all
block devices. Lets clean this up by having the 'badblocks' attribute
not be visible when the driver has not populated a 'struct badblocks'
instance in the gendisk.
