When a region is disabled, there is no driver attached. Therefore
dev->driverdata is NULL. An attempt to write to regionN/deep_flush via sysfs
would cause a NULL pointer dereference. Bail when dev->driver is NULL to
protect this scenario.
Fix: ab630891ce0eb(libnvdimm, region: sysfs trigger for nvdimm_flush())
