    dax: fix __dax_pmd_fault crash · 152d7bd8

    Since 4.3 introduced devm_memremap_pages() the pfns handled by DAX may
    optionally have a struct page backing.  When a mapped pfn reaches
    vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() it fails with a crash signature like the following:
    
     kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:905!
     [..]
     Call Trace:
      [<ffffffff812a73ba>] __dax_pmd_fault+0x2ea/0x5b0
      [<ffffffffa01a4182>] xfs_filemap_pmd_fault+0x92/0x150 [xfs]
      [<ffffffff811fbe02>] handle_mm_fault+0x312/0x1b50
    
    Fix this by falling back to 4K mappings in the pfn_valid() case.  Longer
    term, vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() needs to grow support for architectures that
    can provide a 'pmd_special' capability.
