From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: dax: check return value of dax_radix_entry()
dax_pfn_mkwrite() previously wasn't checking the return value of the call
to dax_radix_entry(), which was a mistake.
Instead, capture this return value and pass it up the stack if it is an
error.
