Hum, I'd need to return 'node' from get_unlocked_mapping_entry(). So
probably I'll do it in a patch separate from this fix. But thanks for
suggestion.

Yes, here I can do it easily rightaway.

Sure. Done.

Yeah, the naming is confusing. I like the invalidate_sync proposal however
renaming invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate_inode_pages_sync() is a
larger undertaking - grep shows 51 places need to be changed. So I don't
want to do it in this patch set. I can call the function
dax_invalidate_mapping_entry_sync() if it makes you happier and do the rest
later... OK?
