Dan Williams 452bae0aed libnvdimm: fix nvdimm_bus_lock() vs device_lock() ordering
A debug patch to turn the standard device_lock() into something that
lockdep can analyze yielded the following:

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 4.11.0-rc4+ #106 Tainted: G           O
 -------------------------------------------------------
 lt-libndctl/1898 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc023c948>] nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc022e0b1>] nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 -> #1 (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}:
        lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
        __mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
        mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
        nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]
        nvdimm_namespace_capacity+0x1b/0x40 [libnvdimm]
        nvdimm_namespace_common_probe+0x230/0x510 [libnvdimm]
        nd_pmem_probe+0x14/0x180 [nd_pmem]
        nvdimm_bus_probe+0xa9/0x260 [libnvdimm]

 -> #0 (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}:
        __lock_acquire+0x1107/0x1280
        lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
        __mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
        mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
        nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]
        nd_namespace_store+0x308/0x3c0 [libnvdimm]
        namespace_store+0x87/0x220 [libnvdimm]

In this case '&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3' mirrors '&dev->mutex'.

Fix this by replacing the use of device_lock() with nvdimm_bus_lock() to protect
nd_{attach,detach}_ndns() operations.
