libnvdimm, pfn: fix uuid validation
commit e5670563f588ed1c0603819350c0f02cec23f5c5 upstream.
If we detect a namespace has a stale info block in the init path, we
should overwrite with the latest configuration. In fact, we already
return -ENODEV when the parent uuid is invalid, the same should be done
for the 'self' uuid. Otherwise we can get into a condition where
userspace is unable to reconfigure the pfn-device without directly /
manually invalidating the info block.
