Kees reports a crash with the following signature...
RIP: 0010:nvdimm_visible+0x79/0x80
[..]
Call Trace:
internal_create_group+0xf4/0x380

...when starting a QEMU environment with "label-less" DIMM. Without
labels QEMU does not publish any DSM methods. Without defined methods
the NVDIMM_FAMILY type is not established and the nfit driver will skip
registering security operations.
In that case the security state should be initialized to a negative
value in __nvdimm_create() and nvdimm_visible() should skip
interrogating the specific ops. However, since 'enum
nvdimm_security_state' was only defined to contain positive values the
"if (nvdimm->sec.state < 0)" check always fails.
Define a negative error state to allow negative state values to be
handled as expected.
