device-dax: introduce 'seed' devices
Add a seed device concept for dynamic dax regions to be able to split the
region amongst multiple sub-instances. The seed device, similar to
libnvdimm seed devices, is a device that starts with zero capacity
allocated and unbound to a driver. In contrast to libnvdimm seed devices
explicit 'create' and 'delete' interfaces are added to the region to
trigger seeds to be created and unused devices to be reclaimed. The
explicit create and delete replaces implicit create as a side effect of
probe and implicit delete when writing 0 to the size that libnvdimm
implements.
Delete can be performed on any 0-sized and idle device. This avoids the
gymnastics of needing to move device_unregister() to its own async
context. Specifically, it avoids the deadlock of deleting a device via
one of its own attributes. It is also less surprising to userspace which
never sees an extra device it did not request.
For now just add the device creation, teardown, and ->probe() prevention.
A later patch will arrange for the 'dax/size' attribute to be writable to
allocate capacity from the region.
