Pull libnvcimm fix from Dan Williams:
 "One straggling fix for NVDIMM support.

  The KVM/QEMU enabling for NVDIMMs has recently reached the point where
  it is able to accept some ACPI _DSM requests from a guest VM.  However
  they immediately found that the 4.5-rc kernel is unusable because the
  kernel's 'nfit' driver fails to load upon seeing a valid "not
  supported" response from the virtual BIOS for an address range scrub
  command.

  It is not mandatory that a platform implement address range scrubbing,
  so this fix from Vishal properly treats the 'not supported' response
  as 'skip scrubbing and continue loading the driver'"

  nfit: Continue init even if ARS commands are unimplemented
