This fails the ndctl unit test suite, see below plus some other cleanups...

Change usage of ENOENT to ENOTTY throughout...

Let's not use "goto" since there is nothing to unwind.

Since we've called nvdimm_check_config_data() before allocating ndd it
will always be NULL causing DIMMs with label areas to fail init.
