nvdimm core use nd_pfn_validate when looking for devdax or fsdax namespace. In this
case device resources are allocated against nd_namespace_io dev. In-order to
allow remap of range in nd_pfn_clear_memmap_error(), move the device memmap
area clearing while initializing pfn namespace. With this device
resource are allocated against nd_pfn and we can use nd_pfn->dev for remapping.

This also avoids calling nd_pfn_clear_mmap_errors twice. Once while probing the
namespace and second while initialzing a pfn namespace.

The nvdimm core currently maps the full namespace to an ioremap range
while probing the namespace mode. This can result in probe failures on
architectures that have limited ioremap space.

For example, with a large btt namespace that consumes most of I/O remap
range, depending on the sequence of namespace initialization, the user
can find a pfn namespace initialization failure due to unavailable I/O
remap space which nvdimm core uses for temporary mapping.

nvdimm core can avoid this failure by only mapping the reserved info
block area to check for pfn superblock type and map the full namespace
resource only before using the namespace.

Given that personalities like BTT can be layered on top of any namespace
type create a generic form of devm_nsio_enable (devm_namespace_enable)
and use it inside the per-personality attach routines. Now
devm_namespace_enable() is always paired with disable unless the mapping
is going to be used for long term runtime access.

No need for this comment the following function name is descriptive enough.

> +               return nd_pfn_clear_memmap_errors(nd_pfn);

While this does allow for the errors to be cleared once on each
activation, it blocks validation errors from being reported up the
stack. It also does not address errors being cleared on create, but
that was also a problem shared with the current implementation.

I think you want something like this? This passes my testing, but
please review / test to make sure I'm not overlooking something, and
update the changelog to reflect that errors are now also cleared on
create.
