device-dax: check devm_nsio_enable() return value

If the dax_pmem driver is passed a resource that is already busy the
driver probe attempt should fail with a message like the following:

  dax_pmem dax0.1: could not reserve region [mem 0x100000000-0x11fffffff]

However, if we do not catch the error we crash for the obvious reason of
accessing memory that is not mapped.
