I don't think this should take a bdev - the caller should know if
it has a dax_inode.  Also if you touch this anyway can we kill
the annoying struct blk_dax_ctl calling convention?  Passing the
four arguments explicitly is just a lot more readable and understandable.

And please switch to using bytes as the granularity given that we're
deadling with byte addressable memory.
