dax/fsdev: fix multi-range offset in memory_failure handler
This commit introduces fsdev_pfn_to_offset() to calculate the correct
multi-range offset for a faulting PFN. It changes the calculation to walk
the dev_dax->ranges[] array instead of just reading index 0 to account
for physical gaps between ranges.

[Severity: High]
Does this lockless iteration introduce an out-of-bounds read risk?
The commit message notes that reading dev_dax->ranges[0] locklessly is a
pre-existing exposure. However, looping over the array using nr_range
adds a new issue.
If this runs concurrently with alloc_dev_dax_range() in drivers/dax/bus.c,
the ranges array can be reallocated and nr_range incremented:
drivers/dax/bus.c:alloc_dev_dax_range() {
ranges = krealloc(dev_dax->ranges, ...);
...
dev_dax->ranges = ranges;
ranges[dev_dax->nr_range++] = (struct dev_dax_range) {
...
}
Without read memory barriers here in fsdev_pfn_to_offset(), could a CPU
observe the updated dev_dax->nr_range but still see the old (freed)
dev_dax->ranges pointer?
If so, this loop could iterate past the bounds of the old freed allocation,
causing an out-of-bounds read on the freed slab object.
