dax: add a sysfs knob to control memmap_on_memory behavior
Add a sysfs knob for dax devices to control the memmap_on_memory setting
if the dax device were to be hotplugged as system memory.
The default memmap_on_memory setting for dax devices originating via pmem
or hmem is set to 'false' - i.e. no memmap_on_memory semantics, to
preserve legacy behavior. For dax devices via CXL, the default is on.
The sysfs control allows the administrator to override the above defaults
if needed.
