Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cxl: Fix force unmapping mmaps of contexts allocated through the kernel api

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@....ibm.com>

The cxl user api uses the address_space associated with the file when we
need to force unmap all cxl mmap regions (e.g. on eeh, driver detach,
etc). Currently, contexts allocated through the kernel api do not do
this and instead skip the mmap invalidation, potentially allowing them
to poke at the hardware after such an event, which may cause all sorts
of trouble.

This patch allocates an address_space for cxl contexts allocated through
the kernel api so that the same invalidate path will for these contexts
as well. We don't use the anonymous inode's address_space, as doing so
could invalidate any mmaps of completely unrelated drivers using
anonymous file descriptors.

This patch also introduces a kernelapi flag, so we know when freeing the
context if the address_space was allocated by us and needs to be freed.
