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.
