Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A handful of fixes to address a string of mistakes in the mechanism
for device-mapper to determine if its component devices are dax
capable.
- Fix an original bug in device-mapper table reference counting when
interrogating dax capability in the component device. This bug was
hidden by the following bug.
- Fix device-mapper to use the proper helper (dax_supported() instead
of the leaf helper generic_fsdax_supported()) to determine dax
operation of a stacked block device configuration. The original
implementation is only valid for one level of dax-capable block
device stacking. This bug was discovered while fixing the below
regression.
- Fix an infinite recursion regression introduced by broken attempts
to quiet the generic_fsdax_supported() path and make it bail out
before logging "dax capability not found" errors"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
