Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Improve the efficiency and performance of reading nvdimm-namespace
   labels. Reduce the amount of label data read at driver load time by a
   few orders of magnitude. Reduce heavyweight call-outs to
   platform-firmware routines.

 - Handle media errors located in the 'struct page' array stored on a
   persistent memory namespace. Let the kernel clear these errors rather
   than an awkward userspace workaround.

 - Fix Address Range Scrub (ARS) completion tracking. Correct occasions
   where the kernel indicates completion of ARS before submission.

 - Fix asynchronous device registration reference counting.

 - Add support for reporting an nvdimm dirty-shutdown-count via sysfs.

 - Fix various small libnvdimm core and uapi issues.
