    Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
     "A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
      had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
      due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
      -next this past week with no reported issues.
    
      In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
      includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
      for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
      exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
      and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
      others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
      from Greg.
    
      Summary:
    
       - Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
         to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
         attribute of the self-same device).
    
       - Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are
         initialized in advance of namespace registration.
    
       - Fix a deadlock between the bus lock and probe operations.
    
       - Export device-core infrastructure to coordinate async operations
         via the device ->dead state.
    
       - Add device-core infrastructure to validate device_lock() usage with
         lockdep"
