mem/nvdimm: ensure write persistence to PMEM in label emulation

Guest writes to vNVDIMM labels are intercepted and performed on the
backend by QEMU. When the backend is a real persistent memort, QEMU
needs to take proper operations to ensure its write persistence on the
persistent memory. Otherwise, a host power failure may result in the
loss of guest label configurations.
