Subject: libnvdimm/dimm: Fix security capability detection for non-Intel
 NVDIMMs
Git-commit: 1cb95e072ede5e3d6a54eefd520db21b45985896
Patch-mainline: v5.0-rc3
References: bsc#1122648

Kees reports a crash with the following signature...

 RIP: 0010:nvdimm_visible+0x79/0x80
 [..]
 Call Trace:
  internal_create_group+0xf4/0x380
  sysfs_create_groups+0x46/0xb0
  device_add+0x331/0x680
  nd_async_device_register+0x15/0x60
  async_run_entry_fn+0x38/0x100

...when starting a QEMU environment with "label-less" DIMM. Without
labels QEMU does not publish any DSM methods. Without defined methods
the NVDIMM_FAMILY type is not established and the nfit driver will skip
registering security operations.

In that case the security state should be initialized to a negative
value in __nvdimm_create() and nvdimm_visible() should skip
interrogating the specific ops. However, since 'enum
nvdimm_security_state' was only defined to contain positive values the
"if (nvdimm->sec.state < 0)" check always fails.

Define a negative error state to allow negative state values to be
handled as expected.
