cxl/memdev: Add support for the Clear Poison mailbox command



CXL devices optionally support the CLEAR POISON mailbox command. Add
memdev driver support for clearing poison.

Per the CXL Specification (3.0 8.2.9.8.4.3), after receiving a valid
clear poison request, the device removes the address from the device's
Poison List and writes 0 (zero) for 64 bytes starting at address. If
the device cannot clear poison from the address, it returns a permanent
media error and -ENXIO is returned to the user.

Additionally, and per the spec also, it is not an error to clear poison
of an address that is not poisoned.

If the address is not contained in the device's dpa resource, or is
not 64 byte aligned, the driver returns -EINVAL without sending the
command to the device.

Poison clearing is intended for debug only and will be exposed to
userspace through debugfs. Restrict compilation to CONFIG_DEBUG_FS.

Implementation note: Although the CXL specification defines the clear
command to accept 64 bytes of 'write-data', this implementation always
uses zeroes as write-data.
