libnvdimm, btt: ensure that initializing metadata clears poison
If we had badblocks/poison in the metadata area of a BTT, recreating the BTT would not clear the poison in all cases, notably the flog area. This is because rw_bytes will only clear errors if the request being sent down is 512B aligned and sized. Make sure that when writing the map and info blocks, the rw_bytes being sent are of the correct size/alignment. For the flog, instead of doing the smaller log_entry writes only, first do a 'wipe' of the entire area by writing zeroes in large enough chunks so that errors get cleared.
