libnvdimm, btt: Fix an incompatibility in the log layout
commit 24e3a7fb60a9187e5df90e5fa655ffc94b9c4f77 upstream.
Due to a spec misinterpretation, the Linux implementation of the BTT log
area had different padding scheme from other implementations, such as
UEFI and NVML.
This fixes the padding scheme, and defaults to it for new BTT layouts.
We attempt to detect the padding scheme in use when probing for an
existing BTT. If we detect the older/incompatible scheme, we continue
using it.
