dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct dax_device' instances
We want dax capable drivers to be able to publish a set of dax operations [1]. However, we do not want to further abuse block_devices to advertise these operations. Instead we will attach these operations to a dax device and add a lookup mechanism to go from block device path to a dax device. A dax capable driver like pmem or brd is responsible for registering a dax device, alongside a block device, and then a dax capable filesystem is responsible for retrieving the dax device by path name if it wants to call dax_operations. For now, we refactor the dax pseudo-fs to be a generic facility, rather than an implementation detail, of the device-dax use case. Where a "dax device" is just an inode + dax infrastructure, and "Device DAX" is a mapping service layered on top of that base 'struct dax_device'. "Filesystem DAX" is then a mapping service that layers a filesystem on top of that same base device. Filesystem DAX is associated with a block_device for now, but perhaps directly to a dax device in the future, or for new pmem-only filesystems.
