Fix the problem by locking exception entry before mapping blocks for the fault. That way we are sure invalidate_inode_pages2_range() call for racing write will either block on entry lock waiting for the fault to finish (and unmap stale page tables after that) or read fault will see already allocated blocks by write(2).
