Can we use node_memory_types[] to indicate whether a node is managed by
a driver?
Regardless being succeeded or failed, dev_dax_kmem_remove() will set
node_memory_types[] = NULL. But until node is offlined, we will still
keep the node in the memory_dev_type (dax_pmem_type).
And we will prevent dax/kmem from unloading via try_module_get() and add
"struct module *" to struct memory_dev_type.
