libnvdimm, namespace: do not delete namespace-id 0
Given that the naming of pmem devices changes from the pmemX form to the
pmemX.Y form when namespace id is greater than 0, arrange for namespaces
with id-0 to be exempt from deletion. Otherwise a simple reconfiguration
of an existing namespace to a new mode results in a name change of the
resulting block device:
    # ndctl list --namespace=namespace1.0
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.0",
      "mode":"raw",
      "size":2147483648,
      "uuid":"3dadf3dc-89b9-4b24-b20e-abc8a4707ce3",
      "blockdev":"pmem1"
    }
    # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace1.0 --mode=memory --force
    {
      "dev":"namespace1.1",
      "mode":"memory",
      "size":2111832064,
      "uuid":"7b4a6341-7318-4219-a02c-fb57c0bbf613",
      "blockdev":"pmem1.1"
    }
This change does require tooling changes to explicitly look for
namespaceX.0 if the seed has already advanced to another namespace.
