Ben Widawsky 3d135db510 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.
