The kernel has special handling for destroying the 0th dax device under any given DAX region (daxX.0). It ensures the size is set to 0, but doesn't actually remove the device, instead it returns an EBUSY, indicating that this device cannot be removed. Add an expectation in daxctl's dev_destroy() helper to handle this case instead of returning the error - as far as the user is concerned, the size has been set to zero, and the destroy operation has been completed, even if the kernel indicated an EBUSY.
