Subject[PATCH] dax: fix deadlock in __dax_fault
Date
Fix the deadlock exposed by xfstests generic/075.  Here is the sequence
that was causing us to deadlock:

1) enter __dax_fault()
2) page = find_get_page() gives us a page, so skip
i_mmap_lock_write(mapping)
3) if (!buffer_mapped(&bh) && !buffer_unwritten(&bh) && !vmf->cow_page)
passes, enter this block
4) if (vmf->flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE) fails, so do the else case and
i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping);
return dax_load_hole(mapping, page, vmf);

This causes us to up_write() a semaphore that we weren't holding.

The up_write() on a semaphore we didn't down_write() happens twice in
a row, and then the next time we try and i_mmap_lock_write(), we hang.
