[PATCH] libnvdimm: Fix __nd_ioctl() to check error in cmd_rc

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Wed Nov 07 2018 - 13:52:48 EST


ndctl zero-labels completes with a large number of zeroed nmems when
it fails to do zeroing on a protected NVDIMM.

# ndctl zero-labels nmem1
zeroed 65504 nmems

When an ACPI call completes with error, xlat_status() called from
acpi_nfit_ctl() sets error to *cmd_rc. __nd_ioctl(), however, does
not check this error and returns with success.

Fix __nd_ioctl() to check this error in cmd_rc.
