Subject: [PATCH 4.16 122/196] libnvdimm, dimm: fix dpa reservation vs uninitialized label area

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit c31898c8c711f2bbbcaebe802a55827e288d875a upstream.

At initialization time the 'dimm' driver caches a copy of the memory
device's label area and reserves address space for each of the
namespaces defined.

However, as can be seen below, the reservation occurs even when the
index blocks are invalid:

 nvdimm nmem0: nvdimm_init_config_data: len: 131072 rc: 0
 nvdimm nmem0: config data size: 131072
 nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex0 labelsize 1 invalid
 nvdimm nmem0: __nd_label_validate: nsindex1 labelsize 1 invalid
 nvdimm nmem0: : pmem-6025e505: 0x1000000000 @ 0xf50000000 reserve <-- bad

Gate dpa reservation on the presence of valid index blocks.
