Davidlohr Bueso ef4fc53898 dax/kmem: account for partial discontiguous resource upon removal 
[ Upstream commit 8aa442cfce ]

When dev_dax_kmem_probe() partially succeeds (at least one range is
mapped) but a subsequent range fails request_mem_region() or
add_memory_driver_managed(), the probe silently continues, ultimately
returning success, but with the corresponding range resource NULL'ed out.

dev_dax_kmem_remove() iterates over all dax_device ranges regardless of if
the underlying resource exists.  When remove_memory() is called later, it
returns 0 because the memory was never added which causes
dev_dax_kmem_remove() to incorrectly assume the (nonexistent) resource can
be removed and attempts cleanup on a NULL pointer.

Fix this by skipping these ranges altogether, noting that these cases are
considered success, such that the cleanup is still reached when all
actually-added ranges are successfully removed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
