In preparation for moving cxl_memdev allocation to the core, introduce cdevm_file_operations to coordinate file operations shutdown relative to driver data release. The motivation for moving cxl_memdev allocation to the core (beyond better file organization of sysfs attributes in core/ and drivers in cxl/), is that device lifetime is longer than module lifetime. The cxl_pci module should be free to come and go without needing to coordinate with devices that need the text associated with cxl_memdev_release() to stay resident. The move will fix a use after free bug when looping driver load / unload with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y. Another motivation for passing in file_operations to the core cxl_memdev creation flow is to allow for alternate drivers, like unit test code, to define their own ioctl backends.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
