Subject: libnvdimm, namespace: make 'resource' attribute only readable by root

From: Dan Williams <[email protected]>

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.
