dax: fix __dax_pmd_fault crash
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.
