device-dax: add dis-contiguous resource support

Break the requirement that device-dax instances are physically contiguous.
With this constraint removed it allows fragmented available capacity to
be fully allocated.

This capability is useful to mitigate the "noisy neighbor" problem with
memory-side-cache management for virtual machines, or any other scenario
where a platform address boundary also designates a performance boundary.
For example a direct mapped memory side cache might rotate cache colors at
1GB boundaries. With dis-contiguous allocations a device-dax instance
could be configured to contain only 1 cache color.

It also satisfies Joao's use case (see link) for partitioning memory for
exclusive guest access. It allows for a future potential mode where the
host kernel need not allocate 'struct page' capacity up-front.

device-dax: make pgmap optional for instance creation

The passed in dev_pagemap is only required in the pmem case as the
libnvdimm core may have reserved a vmem_altmap for dev_memremap_pages() to
place the memmap in pmem directly. In the hmem case there is no agent
reserving an altmap so it can all be handled by a core internal default.

Pass the resource range via a new @range property of 'struct
dev_dax_data'.
