Dan Williams bc042fdfbb libnvdimm, region: fix flush hint detection crash
In the case where a dimm does not have any associated flush hints the
ndrd->flush_wpq array may be uninitialized leading to crashes with the
following signature:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
