    ...by reusing the namespace id for the device-dax instance name.
    
    Now that we have decided that there will never by more than one
    device-dax instance per libnvdimm-namespace parent device [1], we can
    directly reuse the namepace ids. There are some possible follow-on
    cleanups, but those are saved for a later patch to simplify the -stable
    backport.
