H A Dcxlmem.h9cc238c7 Mon Aug 02 12:29:59 CDT 2021 Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> cxl/pci: Introduce cdevm_file_operations

In preparation for moving cxl_memdev allocation to the core, introduce
cdevm_file_operations to coordinate file operations shutdown relative to
driver data release.

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 will fix a use after free bug when looping driver
load / unload with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y.

Another motivation for passing in file_operations to the core cxl_memdev
creation flow is to allow for alternate drivers, like unit test code, to
define their own ioctl backends.
