Subject: [PATCH v4 02/12] nvdimm/pmem: Treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal

In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of nvdimm/pmem
pmem_attach_disk() to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.

For the transition, consider that alloc_dax() returning NULL is the
same as returning -EOPNOTSUPP.

Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
