The null_blk configfs file 'features' provides a string that lists available null_blk features for userspace programs to reference. The string is defined as a long constant in the code, which tends to be forgotten for updates. It also causes checkpatch.pl to report "WARNING: quoted string split across lines". To avoid these drawbacks, generate the feature string on the fly. Refer to the ca_name field of each element in the nullb_device_attrs table and concatenate them in the given buffer. Also, sorted nullb_device_attrs table elements in alphabetical order. Of note is that the feature "index" was missing before this commit. This commit adds it to the generated string.

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 reStructuredText 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.
