We need to pass in a DIO_LOCKING flag to this call to dax_do_io.  This flag is
provided correctly in ext2_direct_IO which is the only other place I found
where we have a call to dax_do_io as an alternative to blockdev_direct_IO.

The other calls to dax_do_io are alternatives to __blockdev_direct_IO, which
has an explicit flags parameter.  I believe all of these cases are being
handled correctly.
