Dan Williams 1cd7386549 libnvdimm/security: Require nvdimm_security_setup_events() to succeed
The following warning:

    ACPI0012:00: security event setup failed: -19

...is meant to capture exceptional failures of sysfs_get_dirent(),
however it will also fail in the common case when security support is
disabled. A few issues:

1/ A dev_warn() report for a common case is too chatty
2/ The setup of this notifier is generic, no need for it to be driven
   from the nfit driver, it can exist completely in the core.
3/ If it fails for any reason besides security support being disabled,
   that's fatal and should abort DIMM activation. Userspace may hang if
   it never gets overwrite notifications.
4/ The dirent needs to be released.

Move the call to the core 'dimm' driver, make it conditional on security
support being active, make it fatal for the exceptional case, add the
missing sysfs_put() at device disable time.

Fixes: 7d988097c5 ("...Add security DSM overwrite support")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
