dax: Fix dax_mapping_release() use after free
[ Upstream commit 6d24b170a9db0456f577b1ab01226a2254c016a8 ]
A CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE test of removing a device-dax region
provider (like modprobe -r dax_hmem) yields:
kobject: 'mapping0' (ffff93eb460e8800): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 2000)

Due to attempting ida_free() on an ida object that has already been
freed. Devices typically only hold a reference on their parent while
registered. If a child needs a parent object to complete its release it
needs to hold a reference that it drops from its release callback.
Arrange for a dax_mapping to pin its parent dev_dax instance until
dax_mapping_release().
