This patch add -EOPNOTSUPP as return from probe callback to indicate we were not able to initialize a namespace due to pfn superblock feature/version mismatch. We want to consider this a probe success so that we can create new namesapce seed and there by avoid marking the failed namespace as the seed namespace.
