In nvme_bdev_ctrlr_create, calloc will be called with a zero size
allocation request if the number of namespaces is zero. The behaviour
is implementation defined if the size of the space requested is zero -
calloc will either return a pointer that mustn't be dereferenced, or
NULL. If NULL is returned, the nvme_bdev_ctrlr_create will fail.
Only call calloc if there are a non-zero number of namespaces.
Otherwise, leave the namespaces pointer with a NULL value. All
references to namespaces[] are either known to be safe, or occur
in the context of looping through the namespaces which will be
skipped if the count is zero. The exception to this is in
vbdev_opal_create, where an assert has been added to match
equivalent code in bdev_ocssd_create_bdev.
Tested by running unit tests on a system that returns a null pointer
for a zero size allocation.
