mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks (COW fault)
DAX handling of COW faults has wrong locking sequence: dax_fault does i_mmap_lock_read do_cow_fault does i_mmap_unlock_write Ross's commit[1] missed a fix[2] that Kirill added to Matthew's commit[3]. Original COW locking logic was introduced by Matthew here[4]. This should be applied to v4.3 as well.
