libnvdimm, nfit: dimm/memory-devices

Enable nvdimm devices to be registered on a nvdimm_bus.  The kernel
assigned device id for nvdimm devicesis dynamic.  If userspace needs a
more static identifier it should consult a provider-specific attribute.
In the case where NFIT is the provider, the 'nmemX/nfit/handle' or
'nmemX/nfit/serial' attributes may be used for this purpose.
