ndctl zero-labels completes with a large number of zeroed nmems when it fails to do zeroing on a protected NVDIMM.
# ndctl zero-labels nmem1 zeroed 65504 nmems do_cmd() called from ndctl_dimm_zero_labels() sets a transfer size to rc when FW status is non-zero. This transfer size gets mistreated as zeroed nmems count in the end. Fix ndctl_dimm_zero_labels() to handle this FW error case properly.
