[PATCH 4.10 45/69] libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4aa5615e080a9855e607accc75b07ab79b252dde upstream.

The following warning results from holding a lane spinlock,
preempt_disable(), or the btt map spinlock and then trying to take the
reconfig_mutex to walk the poison list and potentially add new entries.

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:747
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 17159, name: dd

As a minimal fix, disable error clearing when the BTT is enabled for the
namespace. For the final fix a larger rework of the poison list locking
is needed.

Note that this is not a problem in the blk case since that path never
calls nvdimm_clear_poison().
