device-dax: fix cdev leak
If device_add() fails, cleanup the cdev. Otherwise, we leak a kobj_map() with a stale device number. As Jason points out, there is a small possibility that userspace has opened and mapped the device in the time between cdev_add() and the device_add() failure. We need a new kill_dax_dev() helper to invalidate any established mappings.
