nvdimm/blk: Delete the block-aperture window driver

Block Aperture Window support was an attempt to layer an error model
over PMEM for platforms that did not support machine-check-recovery.
However, it was abandoned before it ever shipped, and only ever existed
in the ACPI specification. Meanwhile Linux has carried a large pile of
dead code for non-shipping infrastructure. For years it has been off to
the side out of the way, but now CXL and recent directions with DAX
support have the potential to collide with this code.

In preparation for adding discontiguous namespace support, a
pre-requisite for the nvdimm subsystem to replace device-mapper for
striping + concatenation use cases, delete BLK aperture support.

On the obscure chance that some hardware vendor shipped support for this
mode, note that the driver will still keep BLK space reserved in the
label area. So an end user in this case would still have the opportunity
to report the regression to get BLK-mode support restored without
risking the data they have on that device.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull dax and libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this is a rework of the dax_operations API after
discovering the obstacles it posed to the work-in-progress DAX+reflink
support for XFS and other copy-on-write filesystem mechanics.

Primarily the need to plumb a block_device through the API to handle
partition offsets was a sticking point and Christoph untangled that
dependency in addition to other cleanups to make landing the
DAX+reflink support easier.

The DAX_PMEM_COMPAT option has been around for 4 years and not only
are distributions shipping userspace that understand the current
configuration API, but some are not even bothering to turn this option
on anymore, so it seems a good time to remove it per the deprecation
schedule. Recall that this was added after the device-dax subsystem
moved from /sys/class/dax to /sys/bus/dax for its sysfs organization.
All recent functionality depends on /sys/bus/dax.

Some other miscellaneous cleanups and reflink prep patches are
included as well.

Summary:

- Simplify the dax_operations API:

- Eliminate bdev_dax_pgoff() in favor of the filesystem
maintaining and applying a partition offset to all its DAX iomap
operations.

- Remove wrappers and device-mapper stacked callbacks for
->copy_from_iter() and ->copy_to_iter() in favor of moving
block_device relative offset responsibility to the
dax_direct_access() caller.

- Remove the need for an @bdev in filesystem-DAX infrastructure

- Remove unused uio helpers copy_from_iter_flushcache() and
copy_mc_to_iter() as only the non-check_copy_size() versions are
used for DAX.

- Prepare XFS for the pending (next merge window) DAX+reflink support

- Remove deprecated DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT support

- Cleanup a straggling misuse of the GUID api"

dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.

Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".

The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:

- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+

As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.
