Subject: [PATCH 21/26] dax/region: Prevent range mapping allocation on
 sparse regions

Sparse regions are not fully populated with memory and this complicates
range mapping of dax devices on those regions.  There is no use case for
range mapping on sparse regions.

Avoid the complication by prevent range mapping of dax devices on sparse
regions.
