Fault injection context as follows:
 kobject_add
 blk_mq_register_hctx
 blk_mq_sysfs_register
 blk_register_queue
 device_add_disk
 null_add_dev.part.0 [null_blk]

As 'blk_mq_register_hctx' may already add some objects when failed halfway,
but there isn't do fallback, caller don't know which objects add failed.
To solve above issue just do fallback when add objects failed halfway in
'blk_mq_register_hctx'.
