In looking at this I realized that vmf->entry is actually unused, as is the
entry we used to return back via __do_fault().  I guess they must have been in
there because at one point they were needed for dax_unlock_mapping_entry()?
Anyway, looking ahead I see patch 10 removes vmf->entry altogether. :)
