device-dax: fix sysfs attribute deadlock

Browse Source 
Usage of device_lock() for dax_region attributes is unnecessary and
deadlock prone. It's unnecessary because the order of registration /
un-registration guarantees that drvdata is always valid. It's deadlock
prone because it sets up this situation:

ndctl/2170 is trying to acquire the device_lock() to read an attribute,
and ndctl/2186 is holding the device_lock() while trying to drain all
active attribute readers.

Thanks to Yi Zhang for the reproduction script.
