Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] libnvdimm/namespace: avoid repeated judgment in nvdimm_namespace_disk_name()

The judgment (suffix ? suffix : "") appears three times, we do this just
because the initial value of local variable "suffix" is NULL, should be
replaced with empty string "" to avoid null pointer reference. It's easy
to get rid of it as below:
-	const char *suffix = NULL;
+	const char *suffix = "";

To avoid having rows that exceed 80 columns, add a new local variable
"region_id".

No functional change, but it can reduce the code size.
Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  41749    3697      16   45462    b196 drivers/nvdimm/namespace_devs.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  41653    3697      16   45366    b136 drivers/nvdimm/namespace_devs.o
