The latch needs to be coordinated with writes to the namespace and that
makes it not suitable as a dimm-add-event udev rule.

Additionally, the dirty-shutdown-count is something that can live in
sysfs alongside the other health state flags in /sys/.../nmemX/nfit.
Otherwise, calling any of the libndctl apis from a udev script means the
entire udev queue can get blocked behind a ndctl_bus_wait_probe() call.
That's too much overhead for a non-default policy.

In other words, while the latch event remains in userspace as close as
possible to the application that wants to manage dimm-flush-failed
policy as anything other than fatal, dirty-shutdown-count caching should
move to sysfs where it is cheap to implement and compliments the
flush-failed health state flag.
