dm table: reject devices without request fns 

This patch adds a check that a block device has a request function
defined before it is used.  Otherwise, misconfiguration can cause an oops.

Because we are allowing devices with zero size e.g. an offline multipath
device as in commit 2cd54d9bed
("dm: allow offline devices") there needs to be an additional check
to ensure devices are initialised.  Some block devices, like a loop
device without a backing file, exist but have no request function.

Reproducer is trivial: dm-mirror on unbound loop device
(no backing file on loop devices)

dmsetup create x --table "0 8 mirror core 2 8 sync 2 /dev/loop0 0 /dev/loop1 0"

and mirror resync will immediatelly cause OOps.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at   (null)
