52e73eb287 device-dax: fix percpu_ref_exit ordering
We need to wait until the percpu_ref is released before exit. Otherwise,
we sometimes lose the race and trigger this new warning that was added
in v4.9 (commit a67823c1ed "percpu-refcount: init ->confirm_switch
member properly"):

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3629 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:107 percpu_ref_exit+0x51/0x60

d76911ee93 dax: convert devm_create_dax_dev to PTR_ERR
For sub-division support we need access to the dax_dev created by
devm_create_dax_dev().

d0e5845561 dax: fix device-dax region base
The data offset for a dax region needs to account for a reservation in
the resource range.  Otherwise, device-dax is allowing mappings directly
into the memmap or device-info-block area with crash signatures like the
following:

d1c8e0c521 dax: use devm_add_action_or_reset()
If devm_add_action() fails, we are explicitly calling the cleanup to free
the resources allocated. Use the helper devm_add_action_or_reset()
and return directly in case of error, since the cleanup function
has been already called by the helper if there was any error.

ab68f26221 /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:

1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
scenarios are supported.

For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
filesystem specific implementation semantics.

Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
ranges.

This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
associate a dax device with pmem range.
