device/dax: properly refcount device dax pages when mapping
Device DAX pages are currently not reference counted when mapped, instead relying on the devmap PTE bit to ensure mapping code will not get/put references. This requires special handling in various page table walkers, particularly GUP, to manage references on the underlying pgmap to ensure the pages remain valid. However there is no reason these pages can't be refcounted properly at map time. Doning so eliminates the need for the devmap PTE bit, freeing up a precious PTE bit. It also simplifies GUP as it no longer needs to manage the special pgmap references and can instead just treat the pages normally as defined by vm_normal_page().
