Always take device_lock() before nvdimm_bus_lock() to prevent deadlock.

Enable the pmem driver to handle PFN device instances. Attaching a pmem
namespace to a pfn device triggers the driver to allocate and initialize
struct page entries for pmem. Memory capacity for this allocation comes
exclusively from RAM for now which is suitable for low PMEM to RAM
ratios. This mechanism will be expanded later for setting an "allocate
from PMEM" policy.

Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.
As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.
