When dax_lock_mapping_entry() has to sleep to obtain entry lock, it will
fail to unlock mapping->i_pages spinlock and thus immediately deadlock
against itself when retrying to grab the entry lock again. Fix the
problem by unlocking mapping->i_pages before retrying.

Dan, can you please get this merged? Otherwise dax_lock_mapping_entry()
deadlocks as soon as there's any contention.
