Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "Two fixes:

   - a regression fix for the multiple-pmem-namespace-per-region support
     added in 4.9. Even if an existing environment is not using that
     feature the act of creating and a destroying a single namespace
     with the ndctl utility will lead to the proliferation of extra
     unwanted namespace devices.

   - a fix for the error code returned from the pmem driver when the
     memcpy_mcsafe() routine returns -EFAULT. Btrfs seems to be the only
     block I/O consumer that tries to parse the meaning of the error
     code when it is non-zero.

  Neither of these fixes are critical, the namespace leak is awkward in
  that it can cause device naming to change and complicates debugging
  namespace initialization issues. The error code fix is included out of
  caution for what other consumers might be expecting -EIO for block I/O
  errors"

  libnvdimm, namespace: fix pmem namespace leak, delete when size set to zero
