Merge branch 'for-6.5/dax-cleanups' into nvdimm-for-next
The reference counting of dax_region objects is needlessly complicated, has lead to confusion [1], and has hidden a bug [2]. While testing the cleanup for those issues, a CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE test run uncovered a use-after-free in dax_mapping_release(). Clean all of that up. Thanks to Yongqiang, Paul, and Ira for their analysis. Additionally, clean up a redundant variable in fsdax, and fix memory hotplug registration in the kmem driver.
