libnvdimm, pmem: move pmem to drivers/nvdimm/
Prepare the pmem driver to consume PMEM namespaces emitted by regions of an nvdimm_bus instance. No functional change. Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Tested-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
