Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:

 - Fix a crash that occurs at driver initialization if the memory region
   is already busy (request_mem_region() fails).

 - Fix a vma validation check that mistakenly allows a private device-
   dax mapping to be established. Device-dax explicitly forbids private
   mappings so it can guarantee a given fault granularity and backing
   memory type.

 Both of these fixes have soaked in -next and are tagged for -stable.

  device-dax: fail all private mapping attempts
