[PATCH v12 7/7] fsdax: set a CoW flag when associate reflink mappings

Introduce a PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_COW flag to support association with CoW file
mappings. In this case, since the dax-rmap has already took the
responsibility to look up for shared files by given dax page,
the page->mapping is no longer to used for rmap but for marking that
this dax page is shared. And to make sure disassociation works fine, we
use page->index as refcount, and clear page->mapping to the initial
state when page->index is decreased to 0.

With the help of this new flag, it is able to distinguish normal case
and CoW case, and keep the warning in normal case.

==
PS: The @cow added for dax_associate_entry(), is used to let it know
whether the entry is to be shared during iomap operation. It is decided
by iomap,srcmap's flag, and will be used in another patchset(
fsdax,xfs: Add reflink&dedupe support for fsdax[1]).

In this patch, we set @cow always false for now.
