cxl/core: Move memdev management to core
The motivation for moving cxl_memdev allocation to the core (beyond better file organization of sysfs attributes in core/ and drivers in cxl/), is that device lifetime is longer than module lifetime. The cxl_pci module should be free to come and go without needing to coordinate with devices that need the text associated with cxl_memdev_release() to stay resident. The move fixes a use after free bug when looping driver load / unload with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y. Another motivation for disconnecting cxl_memdev creation from cxl_pci is to enable other drivers, like a unit test driver, to registers memdevs. Fixes: b39cb105 ("cxl/mem: Register CXL memX devices") Signed-off-by: Ben Widawsky <ben.widawsky@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/162792540495.368511.9748638751088219595.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.comSigned-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
