cxl/pmem: Fix nvdimm registration races
commit f57aec443c24d2e8e1f3b5b4856aea12ddda4254 upstream.

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]
    [..]
    Call Trace:

...namely that the bottom half of async nvdimm device registration runs
after the CXL 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.
