Read the related code again, it appears that there's a theoretical race
condition here.  The register_memory_notifier() is called in
devm_cxl_add_region(), where p->targets[] and p->res haven't been
setupped yet.  And, IIUC, p->targets[] or p->res may be gone during the
life cycle of regions too.  If so, we need to use
guard(rwsem_read)(&cxl_region_rwsem) to protect p->targets[] and p->res
references.  Because the memory notifier may be called for other nodes
online/offline.
