fsdev: Add dax_operations for use by famfs.

This replicates the functionality from drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c that
conventional fs-dax file systems (e.g. xfs) use to support dax
read/write/mmap to a daxdev - without which famfs can't sit atop a
daxdev.

- These methods are based on pmem_dax_ops from drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c
- fsdev_dax_direct_access() returns the hpa, pfn and kva. The kva was
  newly stored as dev_dax->virt_addr by dev_dax_probe().
- The hpa/pfn are used for mmap (dax_iomap_fault()), and the kva is used
  for read/write (dax_iomap_rw())
- fsdev_dax_recovery_write() and dev_dax_zero_page_range() have not been
  tested yet. I'm looking for suggestions as to how to test those.
- dax-private.h: add dev_dax->cached_size, which fsdev needs to
  remember. The dev_dax size cannot change while a driver is bound
  (dev_dax_resize returns -EBUSY if dev->driver is set). Caching the size
  at probe time allows fsdev's direct_access path can use it without
  acquiring dax_dev_rwsem (which isn't exported anyway).

Couple nits below while I'm stealing code from you.

Yep, fixed thanks

you can use 'size' instead here since it's previously computed already.

Indeed - thanks!
