+    tree: Fix subsystem initialization in nvme_scan_ctrl()
+    
+    The subsystem instance would normally get properly initialized
+    in later stages of topology scanning, unless there's a host
+    mismatch and the instance would stand alone.

+    tree: Handle NULL subsysname in nvme_scan_ctrl()
+    
+    As noted couple of lines earlier, the subsysname string might
+    be NULL. In that case, defer initialization of nvme_subsystem_t
+    in hope that it would get initialized while scanning subsystems.
