Ira Weiny 5e2411ae80 cxl/memdev: Change cxl_mem to a more descriptive name
The 'struct cxl_mem' object actually represents the state of a CXL
device within the driver. Comments indicating that 'struct cxl_mem' is a
device itself are incorrect. It is data layered on top of a CXL Memory
Expander class device. Rename it 'struct cxl_dev_state'. The 'struct'
cxl_memdev' structure represents a Linux CXL memory device object, and
it uses services and information provided by 'struct cxl_dev_state'.

Update the structure name, function names, and the kdocs to reflect the
real uses of this structure.

Some helper functions that were previously prefixed "cxl_mem_" are
renamed to just "cxl_".

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
