If we detect a namespace has a stale info block in the init path, we should overwrite with the latest configuration. In fact, we already return -ENODEV when the parent uuid is invalid, the same should be done for the 'self' uuid. Otherwise we can get into a condition where userspace is unable to reconfigure the pfn-device without directly / manually invalidating the info block.
