Ira,

Users who want to manage the namespace of pmem usually use the 'ndctl' command. The following cases
would touch the memmap of the namespace.

a. create namespace 'ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 --mode=fsdax -s $(((1024+16)<<20)) -M dev'
b. change namespace size 'ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 --mode=fsdax -s $(((1024)<<20)) -M dev'
c. change memmap location 'ndctl create-namespace -f -e namespace0.0 --mode=fsdax -s $(((1024+16)<<20)) -M mem'
d. destroy namespace 'ndctl destroy-namespace -f namespace0.0'

Unlike the former 3 cases, the case d, it will not invoke '__nvdimm_setup_pfn()'. Instead, ndctl
just do something like 'echo 0 >/sys/bus/nd/devices/namespace0.0/size'

We have to delete this namespace from devm_memmap_vmcore in this case. So here is an odd place
but it works. I have tried to find a place pairing with __nvdimm_setup_pfn(), but i failed
at last. If you have any good idea, please let me know :)

Thanks
Zhijian
