Ross Zwisler 965d004af5 dax: fix deadlock with DAX 4k holes 
Currently in DAX if we have three read faults on the same hole address we
can end up with the following:

Thread 0		Thread 1		Thread 2
--------		--------		--------
dax_iomap_fault
 grab_mapping_entry
  lock_slot
   <locks empty DAX entry>

  			dax_iomap_fault
			 grab_mapping_entry
			  get_unlocked_mapping_entry
			   <sleeps on empty DAX entry>

						dax_iomap_fault
						 grab_mapping_entry
						  get_unlocked_mapping_entry
						   <sleeps on empty DAX entry>
  dax_load_hole
   find_or_create_page
   ...
    page_cache_tree_insert
     dax_wake_mapping_entry_waiter
      <wakes one sleeper>
     __radix_tree_replace
      <swaps empty DAX entry with 4k zero page>

			<wakes>
			get_page
			lock_page
			...
			put_locked_mapping_entry
			unlock_page
			put_page

						<sleeps forever on the DAX
						 wait queue>

The crux of the problem is that once we insert a 4k zero page, all
locking from then on is done in terms of that 4k zero page and any
additional threads sleeping on the empty DAX entry will never be woken.

Fix this by waking all sleepers when we replace the DAX radix tree entry
with a 4k zero page.  This will allow all sleeping threads to
successfully transition from locking based on the DAX empty entry to
locking on the 4k zero page.

With the test case reported by Xiong this happens very regularly in my
test setup, with some runs resulting in 9+ threads in this deadlocked
state.  With this fix I've been able to run that same test dozens of
times in a loop without issue.
