libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid
When a BTT is instantiated on a namespace it must validate the namespace uuid matches the 'parent_uuid' stored in the btt superblock. This property enforces that changing the namespace UUID invalidates all former BTT instances on that storage. For "IO namespaces" that don't have a label or UUID, the parent_uuid is set to zero, and this validation is skipped. For such cases, old BTTs have to be invalidated by forcing the namespace to raw mode, and overwriting the BTT info blocks.
