Dan Williams 565851c972 device-dax: fix sysfs attribute deadlock 
Usage of device_lock() for dax_region attributes is unnecessary and
deadlock prone. It's unnecessary because the order of registration /
un-registration guarantees that drvdata is always valid. It's deadlock
prone because it sets up this situation:

 ndctl           D    0  2170   2082 0x00000000
 Call Trace:

ndctl/2170 is trying to acquire the device_lock() to read an attribute,
and ndctl/2186 is holding the device_lock() while trying to drain all
active attribute readers.

Thanks to Yi Zhang for the reproduction script.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
