cxl/pmem: Fix nvdimm registration races
A loop of the form:
while true; do modprobe cxl_pci; modprobe -r cxl_pci; done
...fails with the following crash signature:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040
[..]
RIP: 0010:cxl_internal_send_cmd+0x5/0xb0 [cxl_core]
[..]
Call Trace:

...namely that the bottom half of async nvdimm device registration runs
after the CXL has already torn down the context that cxl_pmem_ctl()
needs. Unlike the ACPI NFIT case that benefits from launching multiple
nvdimm device registrations in parallel from those listed in the table,
CXL is already marked PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS. So provide for a
synchronous registration path to preclude this scenario.
