When I repeatedly modprobe and rmmod dax.ko, kmemleak report a
memory leak as follows:
unreferenced object 0xffff9a5588c05088 (size 8):
comm "modprobe", pid 261, jiffies 4294693644 (age 42.063s)
...
backtrace:

When rmmod dax is executed, dax_bus_exit() is missing. This patch
can fix this bug.
Fixes: 9567da0b408a ("device-dax: Introduce bus + driver model")
