libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure

Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.

As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.

Map persistent memory, i.e. advertise it to the memory
management sub-system. By default persistent memory does
not support direct I/O, RDMA, or any other usage that
requires a 'struct page' to mediate an I/O request. This
driver allocates and initializes the infrastructure needed
to support those use cases.
