You probably want to retain the condition above?

Otherwise it removes the ability to create new devices or resizing it , once we
have zero-ed the last one.

I am wondering if we should switch to:

	if (adjust_ok(...))
		rc = __adjust_dev_dax_range(...);
	else
		rc = __alloc_dev_dax_range(...);

And then a debug print at the end depicting whether and how did we grabbed
space? Something like:

	dev_dbg(&dev_dax->dev, "%s(%d) %d", action, location, rc);

Assuming we set @location to its values when we allocate space at the end,
beginning or middle; and @action to whether we adjusted up/down or allocated new
range.

Essentially, something similar to namespaces scan_allocate() just to help
troubleshoot?
