Why not have the stub return -EINVAL if it never makes sense to call without

I have removed this config check and handled it in
devm_cxl_add_pmem_region() itself.

[PATCH V4 14/17] cxl/pmem_region: Introduce CONFIG_CXL_PMEM_REGION for core/pmem_region.c
As pmem region label update/delete has hard dependency on libnvdimm.
It is therefore put core/pmem_region.c under CONFIG_CXL_PMEM_REGION
control. It handles the dependency by selecting CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM
if not enabled.
