powerpc/papr_scm: Fix an off-by-one check in papr_scm_meta_{get, set}
A validation check to prevent out of bounds read/write inside functions papr_scm_meta_{get,set}() is off-by-one that prevent reads and writes to the last byte of the label area. This bug manifests as a failure to probe a dimm when libnvdimm is unable to read the entire config-area as advertised by ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE. This usually happens when there are large number of namespaces created in the region backed by the dimm and the label-index spans max possible config-area. An error of the form below usually reported in the kernel logs: [ 255.293912] nvdimm: probe of nmem0 failed with error -22 The patch fixes these validation checks there by letting libnvdimm access the entire config-area.
