Subject: nvdimm/pmem: treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 11:30:55 -0500

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.

[ Based on commit "nvdimm/pmem: Fix leak on dax_add_host() failure". ]
