nfit, libnvdimm: fix interleave set cookie calculation
The interleave-set cookie is a sum that sanity checks the composition of an interleave set has not changed from when the namespace was initially created. The checksum is calculated by sorting the DIMMs by their location in the interleave-set. The comparison for the sort must be 64-bit wide, not byte-by-byte as performed by memcmp() in the broken case. Fix the implementation to accept correct cookie values in addition to the Linux "memcmp" order cookies, but only allow correct cookies to be generated going forward. It does mean that namespaces created by third-party-tooling, or created by newer kernels with this fix, will not validate on older kernels. However, there are a couple mitigating conditions: 1/ platforms with namespace-label capable NVDIMMs are not widely available. 2/ interleave-sets with a single-dimm are by definition not affected (nothing to sort). This covers the QEMU-KVM NVDIMM emulation case. The cookie stored in the namespace label will be fixed by any write the namespace label, the most straightforward way to achieve this is to write to the "alt_name" attribute of a namespace in sysfs.
