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.
