device-dax: compound devmap support

Use the newly added compound devmap facility which maps the assigned dax
ranges as compound pages at a page size of @align.

dax devices are created with a fixed @align (huge page size) which is
enforced through as well at mmap() of the device.  Faults, consequently
happen too at the specified @align specified at the creation, and those
don't change throughout dax device lifetime.  MCEs unmap a whole dax
huge page, as well as splits occurring at the configured page size.

Performance measured by gup_test improves considerably for
unpin_user_pages() and altmap with NVDIMMs:

  $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 16384 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w
  (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~71 ms -> put:~22 ms
  [altmap]
  (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~524ms put:~525 ms -> get: ~127ms put:~71ms

   $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 129022 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w
  (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~513 ms -> put:~188 ms
  [altmap with -m 127004]
  (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~4.1 secs...
