tools/testing/nvdimm: fix SIGTERM vs hotplug crash

Browse Source 
commit d8d378fa1a0c98ecb50ca52c9bf3bc14e25aa2d2 upstream.

The unit tests crash when hotplug races the previous probe. This race
requires that the loading of the nfit_test module be terminated with
SIGTERM, and the module to be unloaded while the ars scan is still
running.

In contrast to the normal nfit driver, the unit test calls
acpi_nfit_init() twice to simulate hotplug, whereas the nominal case
goes through the acpi_nfit_notify() event handler.  The
acpi_nfit_notify() path is careful to flush the previous region
registration before servicing the hotplug event. The unit test was
missing this guarantee.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
