[PATCH 3/8] dax: expose __dax_fault for filesystems with locking constraints

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Some filesystems cannot call dax_fault() directly because they have
different locking and/or allocation constraints in the page fault IO
path. To handle this, we need to follow the same model as the
generic block_page_mkwrite code, where the internals are exposed via
__block_page_mkwrite() so that filesystems can wrap the correct
locking and operations around the outside.

This is loosely based on a patch originally from Matthew Willcox.
Unlike the original patch, it does not change ext4 code, error
returns or unwritten extent conversion handling.  It also adds a
__dax_mkwrite() wrapper for .page_mkwrite implementations to do the
right thing, too.
