Subject: [PATCH] device-dax: Add a 'target_node' attribute

The target-node attribute is the Linux numa-node that a device-dax
instance may create when it is online. Prior to being online the
device's 'numa_node' property reflects the closest online cpu node which
is the typical expectation of a device 'numa_node'. Once it is online it
becomes its own distinct numa node, i.e. 'target_node'.

Export the 'target_node' property to give userspace tooling the ability
to predict the effective numa-node from a device-dax instance configured
to provide 'System RAM' capacity.
