Merge tag 'libnvdimm-fixes-5.9-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A handful of fixes to address a string of mistakes in the mechanism
  for device-mapper to determine if its component devices are dax
  capable.

   - Fix an original bug in device-mapper table reference counting when
     interrogating dax capability in the component device. This bug was
     hidden by the following bug.

   - Fix device-mapper to use the proper helper (dax_supported() instead
     of the leaf helper generic_fsdax_supported()) to determine dax
     operation of a stacked block device configuration. The original
     implementation is only valid for one level of dax-capable block
     device stacking. This bug was discovered while fixing the below
     regression.

   - Fix an infinite recursion regression introduced by broken attempts
     to quiet the generic_fsdax_supported() path and make it bail out
     before logging "dax capability not found" errors"
