dax/kmem: add sysfs interface for atomic whole-device hotplug

There is no atomic mechanism to offline and remove an entire
multi-block DAX kmem device.  This is presently done in two steps:
    1. offline all
    2. remove all

This creates a race condition where another entity operates directly on
the memory blocks and can cause hot-unplug to fail / unbind to deadlock.

Add a new 'state' sysfs attribute that enables an atomic whole-device
hotplug operation across its entire memory region.

daxX.Y/state mirrors the per-block memoryX/state ABI:
  - [offline, online, online_kernel, online_movable]
  - "unplugged" - is added specifically for dax0.0/state

The valid writable states include:
  - "unplugged":      memory blocks are not present
  - "online":         memory is online, zone chosen by the kernel
  - "online_kernel":  memory is online in ZONE_NORMAL
  - "online_movable": memory is online in ZONE_MOVABLE

Valid transitions:
  - unplugged                -> online[_kernel|_movable]
  - online[_kernel|_movable] -> unplugged
  - offline                  -> unplugged

A device can only be onlined from "unplugged", so it must be returned
there before being onlined into a different state.

For backwards compatibility the memory blocks are always created at probe
- existing tools expect them to be present after kmem binds.

"offline" is therefore a reportable state but is not writable: it only
arises from the legacy auto_online_blocks=offline policy.  Onlining such a
device through this attribute requires unplugging it first in an effort to
get drivers creating DAX devices to set a default.

Unplug is atomic across the whole device: dax_kmem_do_hotremove() collects
every added range and offlines/removes them in one operation.  Either the
operation succeeds or is entirely rolled back.

Unbind Note:
  An offline dax device memory is removed on unbind as before.

  If online at unbind, the resources are leaked (as before), but now
  we prevent deadlock if a memory region is impossible to hotremove.
