[ndctl PATCH v2 05/10] libdaxctl: allow memblock_in_dev() to return an error

[Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com>]

With the MEM_FIND_ZONE operation, and the expectation that it will be
called from 'daxctl list' listings, it is possible that memblock_in_dev()
gets called without sufficient privileges. If this happens, currently,
the above simply returns a 'false'. This was acceptable when the only
operations were onlining/offlining (as there would be an actual failure
later). However, it is not acceptable in the MEM_FIND_ZONE case, as it
could yeild a different answer based on the privilege level.

Change memblock_in_dev() to return an 'int' instead of a 'bool' so that
error cases can be distinguished from actual address range test.
