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

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A 4.16 regression fix, three fixes for -stable, and a cleanup fix:

   - During the merge window support for the new ACPI NVDIMM Platform
     Capabilities structure disabled support for "deep flush", a
     force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
     that mechanism.

   - VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
     interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
     term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.

   - The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
     also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
     block- map collision concerns.

   - Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
     shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
     for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.

   - Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
     as of the v4.15 kernel.

  These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
  and the longterm pin fixes have appeared in -next. However, I recently
  rebased the tree to remove some other fixes that need to be reworked
  after review feedback.
