[PATCH] cxl/acpi: fix CXL_ACPI=y + CXL_PMEM=m link failure

Commit e7e222ad73d9 ("cxl: Move devm_cxl_add_nvdimm_bridge() to
cxl_pmem.ko") moved devm_cxl_add_nvdimm_bridge() from cxl_core into
cxl_pmem, creating a symbol dependency from cxl_acpi to cxl_pmem.

When CXL_ACPI=y and CXL_PMEM=m, the built-in cxl_acpi attempts to
link against a non-built-in cxl_pmem, which the linker cannot resolve.

CXL_PMEM depends on LIBNVDIMM, so LIBNVDIMM=m constrains CXL_PMEM to
at most =m.

Change IS_ENABLED() to IS_REACHABLE(), which returns false when a
built-in caller references a modular target, preventing the link error.

The result is if the pmem/nvdimm symbols are not reachable at build
time, then at runtime it will always return -ENODEV.
