Several functions internal to FS DAX use the following pattern when
trying to obtain an unlocked entry:
xas_for_each(&xas, entry, end_idx) {
if (dax_is_locked(entry))
entry = get_unlocked_entry(&xas, 0);
This is problematic because get_unlocked_entry() will get the next
present entry in the range, and the next entry may not be
locked. Therefore any processing of the original locked entry will be
skipped. This can cause dax_layout_busy_page_range() to miss DMA-busy
pages in the range, leading file systems to free blocks whilst DMA
operations are ongoing which can lead to file system corruption.
Instead callers from within a xas_for_each() loop should be waiting
for the current entry to be unlocked without advancing the XArray
state so a new function is introduced to wait.
Also while we are here rename get_unlocked_entry() to
get_next_unlocked_entry() to make it clear that it may advance the
iterator state.
