    mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks (COW fault) · 0df9d41a
    Yigal Korman authored
    DAX handling of COW faults has wrong locking sequence:
    	dax_fault does i_mmap_lock_read
    	do_cow_fault does i_mmap_unlock_write
    
    Ross's commit[1] missed a fix[2] that Kirill added to Matthew's
    commit[3].
    
    Original COW locking logic was introduced by Matthew here[4].
    
    This should be applied to v4.3 as well.
