track_pfn_insert() is marking dax mappings as uncacheable. It is used to keep mappings attributes consistent across a remapped range. However, since dax regions are never registered via track_pfn_remap(), the caching mode lookup for dax pfns always returns _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC. We do not use track_pfn_insert() in the dax-pte path, and we always want to use the pgprot of the vma itself, so drop this call.
