drivers/block/pmem: Map NVDIMM in Write-Through mode

Browse Source 
The pmem driver maps NVDIMM uncacheable so that we don't lose
data which hasn't reached non-volatile storage in the case of a
crash. Change this to Write-Through mode which provides uncached
writes but cached reads, thus improving read performance.
