In preparation for fixing a deadlock between wait_for_bus_probe_idle()
and the nvdimm_bus_list_mutex arrange for __nd_ioctl() without
nvdimm_bus_list_mutex held. This also unifies the 'dimm' and 'bus' level
ioctls into a common nd_ioctl() preamble implementation.
Marked for -stable as it is a pre-requisite for a follow-on fix.

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.
