Subject: [PATCH] dax: fix memory leak when rmmod dax.ko

When I repeatedly modprobe and rmmod dax.ko, kmemleak report a
memory leak as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff9a5588c05088 (size 8):
  comm "modprobe", pid 261, jiffies 4294693644 (age 42.063s)
...

When rmmod dax is executed, dax_bus_exit() is missing. This patch
can fix this bug.
