dax, kmem: calculate abstract distance with general interface

Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is
used for slow memory type in kmem driver.  This limits the usage of kmem
driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth memory).

So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem
drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper
support.  The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as fallback
only.

Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem.  These memory types are
put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by
kmem_memory_type_lock.
