libnvdimm, nfit: export an 'ecc_unit_size' sysfs attribute

Browse source 
When the nfit driver initializes it runs an ARS (Address Range Scrub)
operation across every pmem range. Part of that process involves
determining the ARS capabilities of a given address range. One of the
capabilities that is reported is the 'Clear Uncorrectable Error Range
Length Unit Size' (see: ACPI 6.2 section 9.20.7.4 Function Index 1 -
Query ARS Capabilities). This property is of interest to userspace
software as it indicates the boundary at which the NVDIMM may need to
perform read-modify-write cycles to maintain ECC blocks.
