There is no point to ask how many device-dax instances the kernel should support. Since we are already using a dynamic major number, just allow the max number of minors by default and be done. This also fixes the fact that the proposed max for the NR_DEV_DAX range was larger than what could be supported by alloc_chrdev_region().
