Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Just a small collection of fixes this time around.
The new virtio-pmem driver is nearly ready, but some last minute
device-mapper acks and virtio questions made it prudent to await v5.3.
Other major topics that were brewing on the linux-nvdimm mailing list
like sub-section hotplug, and other devm_memremap_pages() reworks will
go upstream through Andrew's tree.
Summary:
- Fix a long standing namespace label corruption scenario when
re-provisioning capacity for a namespace.
- Restore the ability of the dax_pmem module to be built-in.
- Harden the build for the 'nfit_test' unit test modules so that the
userspace test harness can ensure all required test modules are
available"

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.
