Background
==========
In Qemu environment, the default serial number of cxl-type3 device
is UI64_NULL. But we could still use it to create a nvdimm pmem region
and set a non-zero cookie of nd_interleave_set, for example:
  1. create a cxl pmem region interleaved with 2 devices (one with
     serial number 0 and the other with serial number 1), and the cookie
     would be non-zero/valid.
  2. create the second cxl pmem region by 1 device with no serial number
     and this region would have a non-zero cookie because the offset of
     dpa is non-zero.

Problem
=======
In a nvdimm interleave-set each device with an invalid or zero
serial number may cause pmem region initialization to fail, but in
cxl case such device could still set cookies of nd_interleave_set
and create a nvdimm pmem region.

CXL Pmem Validation
===================
This patch adds the validation of serial number in cxl pmem region creation.
The event of no serial number would cause to fail to set the cookie
and pmem region.
