At some point, we'll want to get rid of dax_fault_return, but that can be
a follow-on patch after vmf_error is in.

I think we lose VM_FAULT_MAJOR with this change.

I would suggest fixing this with ...

  error_finish_iomap:
-	vmf_ret = dax_fault_return(error) | major;
+	ret = dax_fault_return(error);
  finish_iomap:

[...]

  out:
-	trace_dax_pte_fault_done(inode, vmf, vmf_ret);
-	return vmf_ret;
+	trace_dax_pte_fault_done(inode, vmf, ret);
+	return ret | major;
