[RFC 5/5] cxl: Avoid to create dax regions for type2 accelerators

The memory range of a type2 accelerator should be managed by the type2
accelerator specific driver instead of the common dax region drivers,
as discussed in [1].

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/66469ff1b8fbc_2c2629427@dwillia2-xfh.jf.intel.com.notmuch/

So, in this patch, we skip dax regions creation for type2 accelerator
device memory regions.

Based on: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/168592159835.1948938.1647215579839222774.stgit@dwillia2-xfh.jf.intel.com/
