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.
