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

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

commit b7f0554a56f21fb3e636a627450a9add030889be upstream.

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.
