dax: introduce dax_operations
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.
