This series reverts some recent changes to the locking scheme in DAX introduced
by these two commits:
commit 843172978bb9 ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults")
commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX")
Changes from v3:
- reduced the revert of 46c043ede471 in patch 1 so that we still drop the
mapping->i_mmap_rwsem before calling unmap_mapping_range(). This prevents
the deadlock in the __dax_pmd_fault() path so there is no longer a need to
temporarily disable DAX PMD faults.
