[ Upstream commit b9853b4d6fb403ccb1d4d82e2d39fc17fc07519c ]
Although it is not clear to me why UBSAN complains when 'memory_backed'
is set, this patch suppresses the UBSAN complaint that is triggered when
setting that configfs attribute.
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/block/null_blk_main.c:327:1
load of value 16 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
CPU: 2 PID: 8396 Comm: check Not tainted 5.6.0-rc1-dbg+ #14
