Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL "ovewrite" capability as described by the Intel DSM spec v1.7. This will allow triggering of overwrite on Intel NVDIMMs. The overwrite operation can take tens of minutes. When the overwrite DSM is issued successfully, the NVDIMMs will be unaccessible. The kernel will do backoff polling to detect when the overwrite process is completed. According to the DSM spec v1.7, the 128G NVDIMMs can take up to 15mins to perform overwrite and larger DIMMs will take longer. Given that overwrite puts the DIMM in an indeterminate state until it completes introduce the NDD_SECURITY_OVERWRITE flag to prevent other operations from executing when overwrite is happening. The NDD_WORK_PENDING flag is added to denote that there is a device reference on the nvdimm device for an async workqueue thread context.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
