Given the rarity of notification failures and the infrequency of
registration events I think it would be ok for this to be a global
lock rather than per-device. In fact there is already a global dax
lock, see dax_read_lock(). Let's convert that from srcu to rwsem and
add a dax_write_lock().

There also needs to be a dax_dev->alive check, which is only valid to
be checked under dax_read_lock().

Who would ever pass NULL to this function?

Same questions about NULL dax dev and ->alive checking.

Where is this API used? This result is not valid unless the caller is
holding the read lock.
