Subject: [PATCH] dax: Don't access a freed inode
After we drop the i_pages lock, the inode can be freed at any time.
The get_unlocked_entry() code has no choice but to reacquire the lock,
so it can't be used here. Create a new wait_entry_unlocked() which takes
care not to acquire the lock or dereference the address_space in any way.
