Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Use guard() instead of rwsem locking

Use scoped resource management to replace open-coded locking operation
is recommended. CXL subsystem still remains some down_read()/up_read()
and down_write()/up_write() which can be replaced by guard() simply.

This patchset includes simply using guard() instead of some
down_read()/up_read() and down_write()/up_write() cases. Besides, it
also includes some function code cleanup after using guard().

base-commit: d5d2106e2118c4e09fef131d9889f79559b95bfc cxl/next

v3:
- Drop the renaming of __construct_region() to construct_auto_region(). (Dan)
- Rebase to the top of cxl/next. (Dave)
v2:
- Drop some local variables. (Jonathan)
- Rename __construct_region() to construct_auto_region(). (Jonathan and Dave)

Li Ming (7):
  cxl/core: Use guard() to replace open-coded down_read/write()
  cxl/core: cxl_mem_sanitize() cleanup
  cxl/memdev: cxl_memdev_ioctl() cleanup
  cxl/core: Use guard() to drop the goto pattern of cxl_dpa_free()
  cxl/core: Use guard() to drop goto pattern of cxl_dpa_alloc()
  cxl/region: Drop goto pattern in cxl_dax_region_alloc()
  cxl/region: Drop goto pattern of construct_region()
