Commit 99e6608c9e74 "block: Add badblock management for gendisks" allowed for drivers like pmem and software-raid to advertise a list of bad media areas. However, it inadvertently added a 'badblocks' to all block devices. Lets clean this up by having the 'badblocks' attribute not be visible when the driver has not populated a 'struct badblocks' instance in the gendisk.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
