Oh this is just a check on the region driver, not for a dax driver
being bound to the device. It's the same as what things like
align_store(), size_store() etc. do for dax device reconfiguration.
That said, it might be okay to remove this check, as this operation
doesn't change any attributes of the dax region (the other interfaces I
mentioned above can affect regions, so we want to lock the region
device). If removing the check, we'd drop the region lock acquisition
as well.
Dan, any thoughts on this?
