dax: Add fs_dax_get() func to prepare dax for fs-dax usage

Browse source 
The fs_dax_get() function should be called by fs-dax file systems after
opening a fsdev dax device. This adds holder_operations, which provides
a memory failure callback path and effects exclusivity between callers
of fs_dax_get().

fs_dax_get() is specific to fsdev_dax, so it checks the driver type
(which required touching bus.[ch]). fs_dax_get() fails if fsdev_dax is
not bound to the memory.

This function serves the same role as fs_dax_get_by_bdev(), which dax
file systems call after opening the pmem block device.

This can't be located in fsdev.c because struct dax_device is opaque
there.

This will be called by fs/fuse/famfs.c in a subsequent commit.
