[ndctl PATCH v2 0/4] libdaxctl: Fix multi-range memory block handling

[Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>]

Changes in v2:
- Patch 3: Reset errno before each readdir() (GregoryP)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/nvdimm/cover.1792695259.git.alison.schofield@intel.com/

Review and testing of Gregory's dax kmem atomic whole-device hotplug
series[1] exposed an existing libdaxctl bug when handling DAX devices with
multiple physical address ranges.

libdaxctl identifies a device's memory blocks using a single contiguous
address window, even when the device has separate ranges with gaps between
them. This can exclude blocks belonging to the device and include blocks
belonging to another device in the gaps. As a result, daxctl can report
incorrect memory block counts and potentially online or offline another
device's memory.

Patches 1-2 address mapping reliability issues discovered while fixing
the memory block ownership checks.

Patch 3 corrects the memory block ownership checks.

Patch 4 adds regression coverage using a two-range DAX device.
