Bart Van Assche b9853b4d6f null_blk: Suppress an UBSAN complaint triggered when setting 'memory_backed'
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

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
