Subject: [PATCH] mm: fail get_vaddr_frames() for filesystem-dax mappings

Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow V4L2, Exynos, and other frame vector users to create
long standing / irrevocable memory registrations against filesytem-dax
vmas.

[dan.j.williams@intel.com: add comment for vma_is_fsdax() check in get_vaddr_frames(), per Jan]
