As mentioned in patch3, the reference counting of dax_region objects is
needlessly complicated, has lead to confusion [1], and has hidden a bug
[2]. While testing the cleanup for those issues, a
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE test run uncovered a use-after-free in
dax_mapping_release(). Clean all of that up.

Thanks to Yongqiang, Paul, and Ira for their analysis.
