Subject: [PATCH] device-dax: fix sysfs duplicate warnings

Fix warnings of the form...

     WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 4983 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80

      nvdimm_bus_probe+0x71/0x120

...by reusing the namespace id for the device-dax instance name.

Now that we have decided that there will never by more than one
device-dax instance per libnvdimm-namespace parent device [1], we can
directly reuse the namepace ids. There are some possible follow-on
cleanups, but those are saved for a later patch to simplify the -stable
backport.
