Prior to this point where we convert our 'rc' (which is a normal error code
like 0, -ENOMEM, etc) to a 'vmf_ret' (which is a VM return code like
VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, etc), there are several paths in
dax_insert_mapping() where we could still return a normal error code.  I think
this will confuse the fault handler because this code will get returned all
the way up to do_fault() which expects to get a VM return code.

So, I think we either need to:

a) Make sure all return paths through dax_insert_mapping() end up going
through dax_fault_return(), as we do in the PMD case, or

b) Keep allowing this function to return normal error codes, and just teach
dax_fault_return() to look for IOMAP_F_NEEDSYNC flag so it knows when to set
VM_FAULT_RO.
