    mm: fix cache mode of dax pmd mappings · 9049771f

    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.
