SubjectRe: [PATCH] bcache: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bch_cached_dev_run

If you check kobject_uevent_env(), you will find the NULL pointer dereference
won't happen. Sending env[1] or env[2] as NULL into kobject_uevent_env() just
results an unexpected udev event message, IMHO it is better than nothing.
