[2/3] libnvdimm/security: Tighten scope of nvdimm->busy vs security operations

The blanket blocking of all security operations while the DIMM is in
active use in a region is too restrictive. The only security operations
that need to be aware of the ->busy state are those that mutate the
state of data, i.e. erase and overwrite.

Refactor the ->busy checks to be applied at the entry common entry point
in __security_store() rather than each of the helper routines.

I'm not sure this buys you much.  Did you test this on actual hardware
to make sure your assumptions are correct?  I guess the worst case is we
get an "invalid security state" error back from the firmware....

Still, what's the motivation for this?

The motivation was when I went to test setting the frozen state and
found that it complained about the DIMM being active. There's nothing
wrong with freezing security while the DIMM is mapped. ...but then I
somehow managed to write this generalized commit message that left out
the explicit failure I was worried about. Yes, moved too fast, but the
motivation is "allow freeze while active" and centralize the ->busy
check so it's just one function to review that common constraint.

OK, thanks for the info.
