device-dax: switch to srcu, fix rcu_read_lock() vs pte allocation
The following warning triggers with a new unit test that stresses the
device-dax interface.
===============================
[ ERR: suspicious RCU usage. ]

Inserting a page table entry may trigger an allocation while we are
holding a read lock to keep the device instance alive for the duration
of the fault. Use srcu for this keep-alive protection.
