[PATCH V12 01/12] dax: replace exported dax_dev_get() with non-allocating dax_dev_find()

From: John Groves <[email protected]>

This fix is in response to a Sashiko review, and some subsequent
analysis.

dax_dev_get() uses iget5_locked() which creates a new inode if no
matching one exists. This is correct for the internal caller
(alloc_dax), but dangerous for external callers that look up devices
from user-supplied or metadata-supplied dev_t values:

1. A new inode is created with DAXDEV_ALIVE set but no backing driver,
   no ops, and no IDA-allocated minor number.

2. On teardown, dax_destroy_inode() warns because kill_dax() was never
   called, and dax_free_inode() calls ida_free() for a minor that was
   never ida_alloc'd -- potentially freeing the minor of a real device.

Add dax_dev_find() which uses ilookup5() for lookup-only semantics:
it returns an existing dax_device with an elevated inode reference, or
NULL if no device with the given dev_t exists. It never creates inodes.
A dax_alive() check under dax_read_lock() guards against returning a
device that is concurrently being torn down by kill_dax().

Make dax_dev_get() static again (internal to super.c for alloc_dax),
export dax_dev_find() instead, and update the two external callers
(famfs_inode.c, famfs.c). Also add the missing CONFIG_DAX=n stub.

About the 'fixes' tag: this removes the export of dax_dev_get(),
which was flawed, and replaces is with dax_dev_find(). It feels like
the fixes tag makes sense for correcting an ABI error.

Fixes: 2ae624d5a555d ("dax: export dax_dev_get()")
