mm/devm_memremap_pages: fix final page put race

Logan noticed that devm_memremap_pages_release() kills the percpu_ref
drops all the page references that were acquired at init and then
immediately proceeds to unplug, arch_remove_memory(), the backing pages
for the pagemap.  If for some reason device shutdown actually collides
with a busy / elevated-ref-count page then arch_remove_memory() should
be deferred until after that reference is dropped.

As it stands the "wait for last page ref drop" happens *after*
devm_memremap_pages_release() returns, which is obviously too late and
can lead to crashes.

Fix this situation by assigning the responsibility to wait for the
percpu_ref to go idle to devm_memremap_pages() with a new ->cleanup()
callback.  Implement the new cleanup callback for all
devm_memremap_pages() users: pmem, devdax, hmm, and p2pdma.
