PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: Update CXL, NVDIMM, DAX, and others for djbw

Dan is no longer with us. Removing entries in MAINTAINERS to prevent people from keep emailing his address.

async_tx will be essentially orphaned. There has been discussion of deprecation for the feature on the dmaengine mailing list.

fsdax will no longer have a maintainer. But there are reviewers still and Alison Schofield will continue to wrangle patches for DAX overall.
