Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 1/4] dax/super: Dynamically allocate dax_srcu

Having DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() in a loadable module
requires that the size of the reserved region be increased, which is
not something we really want to be doing.  This commit therefore removes
the DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() from drivers/dax/super.c in favor of defining
dax_srcu as a simple srcu_struct, initializing it in dax_core_init(),
and cleaning it up in dax_core_exit().
