In preparation for using insert_page() for DAX, enhance
insert_page_into_pte_locked() to handle establishing writable
mappings. Recall that DAX returns VM_FAULT_NOPAGE after installing a
PTE which bypasses the typical set_pte_range() in finish_fault.

Just drop "entry" and reuse "pteval"; even saves you from one bug below :)

we already do "pteval = mk_pte(page, prot);" above?
And I think your change here does not do what you want, because you
modify the new "entry" but we do
set_pte_at(vma->vm_mm, addr, pte, pteval);
below ...
+ if (mkwrite) {
+ entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
+ entry = maybe_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry), vma);

So again, better just reuse pteval :)
