The inode destruction path for the 'dax' device filesystem incorrectly
assumes that the inode was initialized through 'alloc_dax()'. However,
if someone attempts to directly mount the dax filesystem with 'mount -t
dax dax mnt' that will bypass 'alloc_dax()' and the following failure
signatures may occur as a result:
kill_dax() must be called before final iput()

In the BLOCK=n case the dax core does not need to / must not emit the
block-device-dax helpers. Otherwise it leads to compile errors.

There is no point to ask how many device-dax instances the kernel should
support. Since we are already using a dynamic major number, just allow
the max number of minors by default and be done. This also fixes the
fact that the proposed max for the NR_DEV_DAX range was larger than what
could be supported by alloc_chrdev_region().

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.
Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.
Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

Replace bdev_direct_access() with dax_direct_access() that uses
dax_device and dax_operations instead of a block_device and
block_device_operations for dax. Once all consumers of the old api have
been converted bdev_direct_access() will be deleted.
Given that block device partitioning decisions can cause dax page
alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the
bdev_dax_pgoff() helper. It handles calculating a logical pgoff relative
to the dax_device and also checks for page alignment.

Track a set of dax_operations per dax_device that can be set at
alloc_dax() time. These operations will be used to stop the abuse of
block_device_operations for communicating dax capabilities to
filesystems. It will also be used to replace the "pmem api" and move
pmem-specific cache maintenance, and other dax-driver-specific
filesystem-dax operations, to dax device methods. In particular this
allows us to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache(), via memcpy_to_pmem(),
with a driver specific replacement.
This is a standalone introduction of the operations. Follow on patches
convert each dax-driver and teach fs/dax.c to use ->direct_access() from
dax_operations instead of block_device_operations.

For the current block_device based filesystem-dax path, we need a way
for it to lookup the dax_device associated with a block_device. Add a
'host' property of a dax_device that can be used for this purpose. It is
a free form string, but for a dax_device associated with a block device
it is the bdev name.
This is a stop-gap until filesystems are able to mount on a dax-inode
directly.

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.
