Subject: tools/testing/nvdimm: fix nfit_test shutdown crash

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 8b06b884cd98f7ec8b5028680b99fabfb7b3e192 ]

Keep the nfit_test instances alive until after nfit_test_teardown(), as
we may be doing resource lookups until the final un-registrations have
completed. This fixes crashes of the form.
