Pull DAX locking updates from Ross Zwisler:
"Filesystem DAX locking for 4.7
- We use a bit in an exceptional radix tree entry as a lock bit and
use it similarly to how page lock is used for normal faults. This
fixes races between hole instantiation and read faults of the same
index.
- Filesystem DAX PMD faults are disabled, and will be re-enabled when
PMD locking is implemented"
