a3ff46097a device-dax: fix sysfs duplicate warnings 
commit bbb3be170ac2891526ad07b18af7db226879a8e7 upstream.

Fix warnings of the form...

     WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 4983 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80
     sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/dax/dax12.0'

...by reusing the namespace id for the device-dax instance name.

Now that we have decided that there will never by more than one
device-dax instance per libnvdimm-namespace parent device [1], we can
directly reuse the namepace ids. There are some possible follow-on
cleanups, but those are saved for a later patch to simplify the -stable
backport.

d76911ee93 dax: convert devm_create_dax_dev to PTR_ERR 
For sub-division support we need access to the dax_dev created by
devm_create_dax_dev().

ab68f26221 /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory 
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:

1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
scenarios are supported.

For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
filesystem specific implementation semantics.

Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
ranges.

This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
associate a dax device with pmem range.
