Hello,

this is a fix for github issue #41. I tested on system with vpmem with
ndctl 64.1 that the issue is fixed. master builds with the fix applied.

8<-------------------------------------------------------------------->8

The kernel always creates zero length namespace with uuid 0 in each
region.

When processing all namespaces the user gets confusing errors from ndctl
trying to process this namespace. Skip it.

The user can still specify the namespace by name directly in case
processing it is desirable.

Fixes: #41

Tested on a vpmem system with master branch, and I can see the issue got fixed.

# ./ndctl/ndctl enable-namespace all
error enabling namespaces: No such device or address
enabled 24 namespaces

After this patch

# ./ndctl/ndctl enable-namespace all 
enabled 24 namespaces

Thanks,
Santosh
