[PATCH RFC 08/10] dax/pmem: Add device-dax support for PFN_MODE_NONE

[Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com>]

Allowing dax pmem driver to work without struct pages means
that user will request to not create any PFN metadata by writing
seed's device mode to PFN_MODE_NONE.

When the underlying nd_pfn->mode is PFN_MODE_NONE, most dax_pmem
initialization steps can be skipped because we won't have/need a
pfn superblock for the pagemap/struct-pages. We only allocate
an opaque zeroed object with the chosen align requested, and
finally add PFN_SPECIAL to the region pfn_flags.
