dax/kmem: allow kmem to add memory with memmap_on_memory

Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL,
and it is often desirable to have the memmap for this memory on the new
memory itself.

Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics if the dax
region originates via CXL. For non-CXL dax regions, retain the existing
default behavior of hot adding without memmap_on_memory semantics.

dax: Cleanup extra dax_region references

Now that free_dev_dax_id() internally manages the references it needs
the extra references taken by the dax_region drivers are not needed.

cxl/dax: Create dax devices for CXL RAM regions

While platform firmware takes some responsibility for mapping the RAM
capacity of CXL devices present at boot, the OS is responsible for
mapping the remainder and hot-added devices. Platform firmware is also
responsible for identifying the platform general purpose memory pool,
typically DDR attached DRAM, and arranging for the remainder to be 'Soft
Reserved'. That reservation allows the CXL subsystem to route the memory
to core-mm via memory-hotplug (dax_kmem), or leave it for dedicated
access (device-dax).

The new 'struct cxl_dax_region' object allows for a CXL memory resource
(region) to be published, but also allow for udev and module policy to
act on that event. It also prevents cxl_core.ko from having a module
loading dependency on any drivers/dax/ modules.
