cxl/pmem: Refactor nvdimm device registration, delete the workqueue

The three objects 'struct cxl_nvdimm_bridge', 'struct cxl_nvdimm', and
'struct cxl_pmem_region' manage CXL persistent memory resources. The
bridge represents base platform resources, the nvdimm represents one or
more endpoints, and the region is a collection of nvdimms that
contribute to an assembled address range.

Their relationship is such that a region is torn down if any component
endpoints are removed. All regions and endpoints are torn down if the
foundational bridge device goes down.

A workqueue was deployed to manage these interdependencies, but it is
difficult to reason about, and fragile. A recent attempt to take the CXL
root device lock in the cxl_mem driver was reported by lockdep as
colliding with the flush_work() in the cxl_pmem flows.

Instead of the workqueue, arrange for all pmem/nvdimm devices to be torn
down immediately and hierarchically. A similar change is made to both
the 'cxl_nvdimm' and 'cxl_pmem_region' objects. For bisect-ability both
changes are made in the same patch which unfortunately makes the patch
bigger than desired.

Arrange for cxl_memdev and cxl_region to register a cxl_nvdimm and
cxl_pmem_region as a devres release action of the bridge device.
Additionally, include a devres release action of the cxl_memdev or
cxl_region device that triggers the bridge's release action if an endpoint
exits before the bridge. I.e. this allows either unplugging the bridge,
or unplugging and endpoint to result in the same cleanup actions.

To keep the patch smaller the cleanup of the now defunct workqueue
infrastructure is saved for a follow-on patch.
