[Bug tapsets/2934] New: ioblocktest.exp panic


While running the tests in testsuite/tests, I was seeing problems with
ioblocktest.stp locking up the machine if I had the cdrom drive mounted.

To verify, the following test script prints a backtrace if it sees a null value
for bio->bi_bdev, followed by the backtrace I get on the machine.

probe ioblock.end
{
	if (!$bio->bi_bdev) {
		printf("bio->bi_bdev: %p\n", $bio->bi_bdev)
		print_backtrace()
		exit()
	}
}

output:

bio->bi_bdev: 0x0000000
trace for 0 (swapper)

So bio_devname() in tapset/ioblock.stp should check for null before it calls
bdevname().  The following patch fixes the problem for me:
