[RFC PATCH v4 03/12] dm: Treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of dm alloc_dev()
to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.

For the transition, consider that alloc_dax() returning NULL is the
same as returning -EOPNOTSUPP.

Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
