libnvdimm, namespace: fix btt claim class crash

Maurice reports:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
    IP: holder_class_store+0x253/0x2b0 [libnvdimm]

...while trying to reconfigure an NVDIMM-N namespace into 'sector' /
'btt' mode. The crash points to this line:

    (gdb) li *(holder_class_store+0x253)
    0x7773 is in holder_class_store (drivers/nvdimm/namespace_devs.c:1420).
    1415            for (i = 0; i < nd_region->ndr_mappings; i++) {
    1416                    struct nd_mapping *nd_mapping = &nd_region->mapping[i];
    1417                    struct nvdimm_drvdata *ndd = to_ndd(nd_mapping);
    1418                    struct nd_namespace_index *nsindex;
    1419
    1420                    nsindex = to_namespace_index(ndd, ndd->ns_current);

...where we are failing because ndd is NULL due to NVDIMM-N dimms not
supporting labels.

Long story short, default to the BTTv1 format in the label-less /
NVDIMM-N case.
