libnvdimm: rework region badblocks clearing
Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O. An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic" warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear(). However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own internal lock to handle mutations of the error list. So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices, rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions(). Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the DEVICE_ATTR macro.
