[PATCH 2/6] cxlflash: Cache owning adapter within context

The context removal routine requires access to the owning adapter
structure to reset the context within the AFU as part of the tear
down sequence. In order to support kref adoption, the owning adapter
must be accessible from the release handler. As the kref framework
only provides the kref reference as the sole parameter, another means
is needed to derive the owning adapter.

As a remedy, the owning adapter reference is saved off within the
context during initialization.
