xfs: call dax_fault on read page faults for DAX
When modifying the patch series to handle the XFS MMAP_LOCK nesting of page faults, I botched the conversion of the read page fault path, and so it is only every calling through the page cache. Re-add the necessary __dax_fault() call for such files. Because the get_blocks callback on read faults may not set up the mapping buffer correctly to allow unwritten extent completion to be run, we need to allow callers of __dax_fault() to pass a null complete_unwritten() callback. The DAX code always zeros the unwritten page when it is read faulted so there are no stale data exposure issues with not doing the conversion. The only downside will be the potential for increased CPU overhead on repeated read faults of the same page. If this proves to be a problem, then the filesystem needs to fix it's get_block callback and provide a convert_unwritten() callback to the read fault path.
