Dan Williams 4aa5615e08 libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking
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().

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
