Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm: fix clear length of nvdimm_forget_poison()

ND_CMD_CLEAR_ERROR command returns 'clear_err.cleared', the length
of error actually cleared, which may be smaller than its requested
'len'.

Change nvdimm_clear_poison() to call nvdimm_forget_poison() with
'clear_err.cleared' when this value is valid.
