[PATCH 4.14 144/193] libnvdimm, namespace: make resource attribute only readable by root

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c1fb3542074fd0c4d901d778bd52455111e4eb6f upstream.

For the same reason that /proc/iomem returns 0's for non-root readers
and acpi tables are root-only, make the 'resource' attribute for
namespace devices only readable by root. Otherwise we disclose physical
address information.

Fixes: bf9bccc14c05 ("libnvdimm: pmem label sets and namespace instantiation")
