libnvdimm/bus: Prepare the nd_ioctl() path to be re-entrant

Browse source

In preparation for not holding a lock over the execution of nd_ioctl(),
update the implementation to allow multiple threads to be attempting
ioctls at the same time. The bus lock still prevents multiple in-flight
->ndctl() invocations from corrupting each other's state, but static
global staging buffers are moved to the heap.
