A new BLK namespace "seed" device is created whenever the current seed is successfully probed. However, if that namespace is assigned to a BTT it may never directly experience a successful probe as it is a subordinate device to a BTT configuration. The effect of the current code is that no new namespaces can be instantiated, after the seed namespace, to consume available BLK DPA capacity. Fix this by treating a successful BTT probe event as a successful probe event for the backing namespace.
