Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) 
to consider:
- [Medium] Cascading test failures due to unhandled baseline restoration 
failure.
- [Medium] Device state restoration is clobbered before the destructive test, 
leaving the device altered if the test is skipped.

selftests/dax: add dax/kmem hotplug sysfs regression test

This commit adds a kselftest for the dax/kmem whole-device "state" sysfs
attribute to validate transitions between unplugged, online, and
online_movable.

[Severity: Medium]
If the unplug command fails and we emit the ktap_test_skip message, the script
continues execution to the online_kernel test.

Since that test expects an unplugged baseline, does this lead to cascading
spurious test failures if the memory couldn't be offlined?

[Severity: Medium]
We restore the original state of the device here, but then unconditionally
overwrite it by running "set_state unplugged; set_state online" before checking
if the destructive test can actually run.

If $DRV/unbind is not writable, the test is skipped and the script exits.

Does this leave the device permanently altered (left "online") instead of in
its original state?
