powerpc/papr_scm: Implement support for H_SCM_FLUSH hcall
Add support for ND_REGION_ASYNC capability if the device tree indicates 'ibm,hcall-flush-required' property in the NVDIMM node. Flush is done by issuing H_SCM_FLUSH hcall to the hypervisor. If the flush request failed, the hypervisor is expected to to reflect the problem in the subsequent nvdimm H_SCM_HEALTH call. This patch prevents mmap of namespaces with MAP_SYNC flag if the nvdimm requires an explicit flush[1].
