The NVDIMM region could be available before the virtio_device_ready()
that is called by virtio_dev_probe(). This means the driver tries to
use device before DRIVER_OK which violates the spec, fixing this by
set device ready before the nvdimm_pmem_region_create().
Note that this means the virtio_pmem_host_ack() could be triggered
before the creation of the nd region, this is safe since the pmem_lock
has been initialized and whether or not any available buffer is added
before is validated by virtio_pmem_host_ack().
Fixes 6e84200c0a29 ("virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
