null_blk: use DEFINE_MUTEX for the file-scope mutex

In null_init(), mutex_init(&lock) currently happens after
configfs_register_subsystem(), which exposes the nullb subsystem to
userspace. A racing mkdir() into /sys/kernel/config/nullb/ can reach
null_find_dev_by_name() -> mutex_lock(&lock) before the mutex is
initialized, trigger warning:

Replace the runtime mutex_init(&lock) with a static DEFINE_MUTEX(lock)
declaration to fix this issue.
