block: fix a probe argument to blk_register_region

Browse Source 
The probe function is supposed to return NULL on failure (as we can see in
kobj_lookup: kobj = probe(dev, index, data); ... if (kobj) return kobj;

However, in loop and brd, it returns negative error from ERR_PTR.

This causes a crash if we simulate disk allocation failure and run
less -f /dev/loop0 because the negative number is interpreted as a pointer:
