Subject: [PATCH V2 1/2] virtio_pmem: initialize provider_data through nd_region_desc

We used to initialize the provider_data manually after
nvdimm_pemm_region_create(). This seems to be racy if the flush is
issued before the initialization of provider_data[1]. Fixing this by
initializing the provider_data through nd_region_desc to make sure the
provider_data is ready after the pmem is created.
