Allow volatile nfit ranges to participate in all the same infrastructure
provided for persistent memory regions. A resulting resulting namespace
device will still be called "pmem", but the parent region type will be
"nd_volatile". This is in preparation for disabling the dax ->flush()
operation in the pmem driver when it is hosted on a volatile range.

Starting with v1.2 labels, 'address abstractions' can be hinted via an
address abstraction id that implies an info-block format. The standard
address abstraction in the specification is the v2 format of the
Block-Translation-Table (BTT). Support for that is saved for a later
patch, for now we add support for the Linux supported address
abstractions BTT (v1), PFN, and DAX.
The new 'holder_class' attribute for namespace devices is added for
tooling to specify the 'abstraction_guid' to store in the namespace label.
For v1.1 labels this field is undefined and any setting of
'holder_class' away from the default 'none' value will only have effect
until the driver is unloaded. Setting 'holder_class' requires that
whatever device tries to claim the namespace must be of the specified
class.

A debug patch to turn the standard device_lock() into something that
lockdep can analyze yielded the following:
======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
4.11.0-rc4+ #106 Tainted: G O
-------------------------------------------------------
lt-libndctl/1898 is trying to acquire lock:
(&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc023c948>] nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]
but task is already holding lock:
(&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc022e0b1>] nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #1 (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}:
lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
__mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]
nvdimm_namespace_capacity+0x1b/0x40 [libnvdimm]
nvdimm_namespace_common_probe+0x230/0x510 [libnvdimm]
nd_pmem_probe+0x14/0x180 [nd_pmem]
nvdimm_bus_probe+0xa9/0x260 [libnvdimm]
-> #0 (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}:
__lock_acquire+0x1107/0x1280
lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
__mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]
nd_namespace_store+0x308/0x3c0 [libnvdimm]
namespace_store+0x87/0x220 [libnvdimm]
In this case '&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3' mirrors '&dev->mutex'.
Fix this by replacing the use of device_lock() with nvdimm_bus_lock() to protect
nd_{attach,detach}_ndns() operations.

For autodetecting a previously established dax configuration we need the
info block to indicate block-device vs device-dax mode, and we need to
have the default namespace probe hand-off the configuration to the
dax_pmem driver.

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.
