[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: fix cache mode of dax pmd mappings

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

track_pfn_insert() in vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() is marking dax mappings as
uncacheable rendering them impractical for application usage.  DAX-pte
mappings are cached and the goal of establishing DAX-pmd mappings is to
attain more performance, not dramatically less (3 orders of magnitude).

track_pfn_insert() relies on a previous call to reserve_memtype() to
establish the expected page_cache_mode for the range.  While memremap()
arranges for reserve_memtype() to be called, devm_memremap_pages() does
not.  So, teach track_pfn_insert() and untrack_pfn() how to handle
tracking without a vma, and arrange for devm_memremap_pages() to
establish the write-back-cache reservation in the memtype tree.
