Merge tag 'libnvdimm-fixes-5.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
  had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
  due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
  -next this past week with no reported issues.

  In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
  includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
  for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
  exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
  and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
  others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
  from Greg.

  Summary:

   - Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
     to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
     attribute of the self-same device).

   - Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
     initialized in advance of namespace registration.

   - Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.

   - Export device-core infrastructure to coordinate async operations
     via the device ->dead state.

   - Add device-core infrastructure to validate device_lock() usage with
     lockdep"
