If the dax_pmem driver is passed a resource that is already busy the
driver probe attempt should fail with a message like the following:
dax_pmem dax0.1: could not reserve region [mem 0x100000000-0x11fffffff]
However, if we do not catch the error we crash for the obvious reason of
accessing memory that is not mapped.
