Preserve region information from region label during nvdimm_probe. This
preserved region information is used for creating cxl region to achieve
region persistency across reboot.

In practice, is this a significant issue or not? I.e. should we not
merge this series until this has been revisited?

As currently we have support of Interleave way == 1, thats why this
REVISIST. I will remove this, as its not significant issue for merging this series
