The following two locking commits in the DAX code:
commit 843172978bb9 ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults")
commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX")
introduced a number of deadlocks and other issues which need to be fixed
for the v4.3 kernel. The list of issues in DAX after these commits (some
newly introduced by the commits, some preexisting) can be found here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/25/602
This undoes most of the changes introduced by those two commits,
essentially returning us to the DAX locking scheme that was used in v4.2.
