[PATCH] libnvdimm/bus: return the outvar 'cmd_rc' error code in __nd_ioctl()

[Vaibhav Jain]

Presently the error code returned via out variable 'cmd_rc' from the
nvdimm-bus controller function is ignored when called from
__nd_ioctl() and never communicated back to user-space code that called
an ioctl on dimm/bus.

This minor patch updates __nd_ioctl() to propagate the value of out
variable 'cmd_rc' back to user-space in case it reports an error.
