Subject: [PATCH v2 07/15] misc: nnpi: Disallow host memory resource access if no NNP-I devices exist

There is no point allowing a user application to create host resources
on a system that does not equipped with any NNP-I devices.
Fail openning the nnpi_host character device when no NNP-I devices are
attached.
It is OK to do that check without any synchronization as a race would not
be an issue.
