From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

The kernel provides two locations in sysfs that contain badblocks
information. The only one ndctl currently uses is region based
badblocks. The problem with this is that this requires root privileges
to calculate namespace-offset badblocks. Since the kernel already
provides a world readable location for namespace badblocks, we can fall
back to that.

Refactor the badblocks retrieval routines to use a bb_iter structure
that contains information for what badblocks file in sysfs to use, to
prepare for a direct namespace-badblocks fallback.

Use the new bb_iter mechanism to provide APIs that retrieve the
namespace badblocks from the kernel's block device representation in
sysfs. This paves the way for a namespace based fallback if
region-badblocks are unavailable.

The return type of ndctl_region_get_resource() is 'unsigned long long',
and therefore the error checking for it should be done against
ULLONG_MAX. Fix an instance where we were checking against ULONG_MAX.

We don't need to check for the above flag for each badblock we're
iterating over. Remove the check in the respective loops, and return
early if it is not set.

When ndctl list --media-errors is invoked, we rely upon the 'region'
badblocks provided by the kernel, and reference them against the
namespace start to report namespace badblocks. This can fail for
non-root users, as the region and namespace resource information is
root-only. However the kernel also provides block-device badblocks
information in sysfs, and that is world readable. Provide a new helper
to retrieve this information, and use it as a fallback when the region
based badblocks are unavailable.

Note that when falling back to the namespace based badblocks, we are
unable to retrieve the DIMM on which the badblocks are present, since we
still need root privileges for both getting the resource information,
and for the address translation command.

"bbs += bb->len" that will now be skipped. Perhaps at least a comment
is needed because that trickery is not obvious.
