[PATCH v2 0/1] nvdimm: add 'target-node' option

[Jingqi Liu <jingqi.liu@intel.com>]

Linux kernel version 5.1 brings in support for the volatile-use of
persistent memory as a hotplugged memory region (KMEM DAX).
When this feature is enabled, persistent memory can be seen as a
separate memory-only NUMA node(s). This newly-added memory can be
selected by its unique NUMA node.

Add 'target-node' option for 'nvdimm' device to indicate this NUMA
node. It can be extended to a new node after all existing NUMA nodes.

Changelog:
    v2:
        - Per Igor's comments, adjust target node error handling,
          and make both 'node' and 'target-node' properties mutually exclusive.
          Create a callback of nvdimm_pre_plug() for checking
          whether the 'target-node' is correct.
    v1:
        - It's the initial version.
