Currently PTE gets updated in wp_pfn_shared() after dax_pfn_mkwrite()
has released corresponding radix tree entry lock. When we want to
writeprotect PTE on cache flush, we need PTE modification to happen
under radix tree entry lock to ensure consisten updates of PTE and radix
tree (standard faults use page lock to ensure this consistency). So move
update of PTE bit into dax_pfn_mkwrite().
