[PATCH v5 1/5] mm: add vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite()

[Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>]

To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE
fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be
marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than waiting
for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault() call.

Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can
distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():

	case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
	case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage

This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page().  vm_normal_page() returns
false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for DAX ptes.
Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will simplify our
DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD sequence, and
get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.  We will instead use
dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults.

This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of insert_pfn_pmd()
and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag.  If 'mkwrite' is set insert_pfn()
will do the work that was previously done by wp_page_reuse() as part of the
dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path.
