The commit 139ddfca

 ("ide: move handling of
I/O resources out of ide_probe_port()") changed the ordering of hwif->noprobe
check vs ide_hwif_request_regions() call (so that we now reserve I/O regions
before checking for hwif->noprobe).  However ide-generic host driver depended
on hwif->noprobe to be set for skipping probing of empty ide_hwifs[] slots.

Fix it by passing only indexes of non-empty slots to ide_device_add_all()
from ide_generic_init().
