There is no need to finish entire loop to execute NDD_ALIASING bit test
against every nvdimm->flags. In practice, all the nd_mapping->nvdimm
have the same flags. So it's safe to return ND_DEVICE_NAMESPACE_PMEM
if the NDD_ALIASING bit is found inside the loop, while saving a few
cpu cycles.

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/19/4
v2: Per Vishal's comments in patch v1, remove 'alias' variable. 
In the loop, just return ND_DEVICE_NAMESPACE_PMEM if the NDD_ALIASING bit is
found for any mapping. 
Outside the loop, simply return ND_DEVICE_NAMESPACE_IO. 

The following test pass on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 based on 4.19-rc1.
# ndctl create-namespace -r region0 -s 1g -t pmem -m fsdax
# ndctl create-namespace -r region0 -s 1g -t pmem -m sector
# ndctl create-namespace -r region0 -s 1g -t pmem -m devdax
# ndctl list
