This is based on a patch from Jan Kara that fixed the equivalent race in
the DAX PTE fault path.
Currently DAX PMD read fault can race with write(2) in the following way:
CPU1 - write(2) CPU2 - read fault
dax_iomap_pmd_fault()
->iomap_begin() - sees hole
dax_iomap_rw()
iomap_apply()
->iomap_begin - allocates blocks
dax_iomap_actor()
invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
- there's nothing to invalidate
grab_mapping_entry()
- we add huge zero page to the radix tree
and map it to page tables
The result is that hole page is mapped into page tables (and thus zeros
are seen in mmap) while file has data written in that place.
Fix the problem by locking exception entry before mapping blocks for the
fault. That way we are sure invalidate_inode_pages2_range() call for
racing write will either block on entry lock waiting for the fault to
finish (and unmap stale page tables after that) or read fault will see
already allocated blocks by write(2).

Jan, I just realized that we need an equivalent fix in the PMD path. Let's
keep this with the rest of your series so they get applied together,
applied to stable together, etc.
This applies cleanly to the current linux/master (56868a460b83) + the four
patches from Jan's series. I've run it through xfstests and some targeted
testing for the PMD path.
