Currently scsi_dh_lookup() doesn't check for NULL as a device
name. This combined with nvme over dm-mapth results in the following
messages emitted by device-mapper:
device-mapper: multipath: Could not failover device 259:67: Handler scsi_dh_(null) error 14.
Let scsi_dh_lookup() fail fast on NULL names.
