In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of nvdimm/pmem
pmem_attach_disk() to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.
For the transition, consider that alloc_dax() returning NULL is the
same as returning -EOPNOTSUPP.
Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
