libnvdimm/security: ensure sysfs poll thread woke up and fetch updated attr
commit 7f674025 upstream. commit 7d988097 ("acpi/nfit, libnvdimm/security: Add security DSM overwrite support") adds a sysfs_notify_dirent() to wake up userspace poll thread when the "overwrite" operation has completed. But the notification is issued before the internal dimm security state and flags have been updated, so the userspace poll thread wakes up and fetches the not-yet-updated attr and falls back to sleep, forever. But if user from another terminal issue "ndctl wait-overwrite nmemX" again, the command returns instantly.
