libnvdimm/namespace: Fix label tracking error

Users have reported intermittent occurrences of DIMM initialization
failures due to duplicate allocations of address capacity detected in
the labels, or errors of the form below, both have the same root cause.

    nd namespace1.4: failed to track label: 0

Unfortunately those reports were typically with a busy parallel
namespace creation / destruction loop making it difficult to see the
components of the bug. However, Jane provided a simple reproducer using
the work-in-progress sub-section implementation.

When ndctl is reconfiguring a namespace it may take an existing defunct
/ disabled namespace and reconfigure it with a new uuid and other
parameters. Critically namespace_update_uuid() takes existing address
resources and renames them for the new namespace to use / reconfigure as
it sees fit. The bug is that this rename only happens in the resource
tracking tree. Existing labels with the old uuid are not reaped leading
to a scenario where multiple active labels reference the same span of
address range.

Teach namespace_update_uuid() to flag any references to the old uuid for
reaping at the next label update attempt.
