nfit, libnvdimm: deprecate the generic SMART ioctl
The kernel's ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command is based on a payload definition that has become broken / out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL definition. Deprecate the use of the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command in favor of the ND_CMD_CALL approach taken by NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}, where we can manage the per-vendor variance in userspace. In a couple years, when the new scheme is widely deployed in userspace packages, the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD support can be removed. For now we prevent new binaries from compiling against the kernel header definitions, but kernel still compatible with old binaries. The libndctl.h [1] header is now the authoritative interface definition for NVDIMM SMART. [1]: https://github.com/pmem/ndctlSigned-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
