[PATCH] pmem: report error on clear poison failure

[Toshi Kani]

ACPI Clear Uncorrectable Error DSM function may fail or may be
unsupported on a platform.  pmem_clear_poison() returns without
clearing badblocks in such cases, which leads to a silent data
corruption.

Change pmem_do_bvec() and pmem_clear_poison() to return -EIO
so that filesystem can log an error message.
