dax: fix missing writeprotect the pte entry
Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the pte entry within a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result in data loss in the following sequence: 1) process A mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the pmd entry dirty and writeable. 2) process B mmap with the @offset (e.g. 4K) and @length (e.g. 4K) write to the same file, dirtying PMD radix tree entry (already done in 1)) and making the pte entry dirty and writeable. 3) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We currently fail to mark the pte entry as clean and write protected since the vma of process B is not covered in dax_entry_mkclean(). 4) process B writes to the pte. These don't cause any page faults since the pte entry is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean. 5) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree entry was clean. 6) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 5) could still have been in the processor cache, and is lost. Just to use pfn_mkclean_range() to clean the pfns to fix this issue.
