We need to clear any poison when we are writing to pmem. The granularity
will be sector size. If it's less then we can't do anything about it
barring corruption.

nsio_rw_bytes() is used to write info block metadata to the namespace,
so it should trigger a flush after every write. Replace wmb_pmem() with
nvdimm_flush() in this path.

Prompted by commit 287980e49f "remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses", I
ran make coccicheck against drivers/nvdimm/ and found that:
if (IS_ERR(x))
return PTR_ERR(x);
return 0;
...can be replaced with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO().

The ndctl unit tests discovered that the dax enabling omitted updates to
nd_detach_and_reset(). This routine clears device the configuration
when the namespace is detached. Without this clearing userspace may
assume that the device is in the process of being configured by another
agent in the system.

Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and
mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial
infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as
a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other
than the pmem driver.

In preparation for providing an alternative (to block device) access
mechanism to persistent memory, convert pmem_rw_bytes() to
nsio_rw_bytes(). This allows ->rw_bytes() functionality without
requiring a 'struct pmem_device' to be instantiated.
In other words, when ->rw_bytes() is in use i/o is driven through
'struct nd_namespace_io', otherwise it is driven through 'struct
pmem_device' and the block layer. This consolidates the disjoint calls
to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common
devm_nsio_disable() and cleans up the init path to use a unified
pmem_attach_disk() implementation.

Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.
As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.
