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

Pull nvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A small crop of lockdep, sleeping while atomic, and other fixes /
  band-aids in advance of the full-blown reworks targeting the next
  merge window. The largest change here is "libnvdimm: fix blk free
  space accounting" which deletes a pile of buggy code that better
  testing would have caught before merging. The next change that is
  borderline too big for a late rc is switching the device-dax locking
  from rcu to srcu, I couldn't think of a smaller way to make that fix.

  The __copy_user_nocache fix will have a full replacement in 4.12 to
  move those pmem special case considerations into the pmem driver. The
  "libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking" commit admits that
  our error clearing support for btt went in broken, so we just disable
  it in 4.11 and -stable. A replacement / full fix is in the pipeline
  for 4.12

  Some of these would have been caught earlier had DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
  been enabled on my development station. I wonder if we should have:

      config DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
        default PROVE_LOCKING

  ...since I mistakenly thought I got both with PROVE_LOCKING=y.

  These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
  and some have appeared in a -next release with no reported issues"
