A loop of the form:
while true; do modprobe cxl_pci; modprobe -r cxl_pci; done
...fails with the following crash signature:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040
[..]
RIP: 0010:cxl_internal_send_cmd+0x5/0xb0 [cxl_core]

...namely that the bottom half of async nvdimm device registration runs
after cxlmd_release_nvdimm() has already torn down the context that
cxl_pmem_ctl() needs. Unlike the ACPI NFIT case that benefits from
launching multiple nvdimm device registrations in parallel from those
listed in the table, CXL is already marked PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS. So
provide for a synchronous registration path to preclude this scenario.
