A test report highlighted the fact that the unit tests never verified
that multiple-namespaces in a region could be in device-dax mode. This
was fixed in the kernel [1], but there is some fallout to handle in
ndctl and daxctl:

1/ teach libdaxctl that there may be multiple dax-region instances that
   share the same region-id

2/ update 'ndctl list' to assume that there will only ever be one
   device-dax instance per-namespace and emit the "chardev" by default
   (Linda).

3/ fix 'daxctl list' to differentiate regions by path, since 'id' may be
   duplicated.

4/ add a regression test for multi-dax configurations

Dan Williams (6):
      ndctl, daxctl: propagate loglevel to internal libdaxctl instance
      daxctl: stop carrying 'dax_region' in the daxctl_region region_path
      daxctl: fix support for multiple instances per-region id
      ndctl, list: emit device-dax 'chardev' by default
      daxctl, list: clarify output when multiple regions share an id
      test: add multi-dax test
