I have only compile-tested this backport.  Dan, do you want to run it
through some tests before Greg applies it?

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dax: Don't access a freed inode

commit 55e56f06ed71d9441f3abd5b1d3c1a870812b3fe upstream.

After we drop the i_pages lock, the inode can be freed at any time.
The get_unlocked_entry() code has no choice but to reacquire the lock,
so it can't be used here.  Create a new wait_entry_unlocked() which takes
care not to acquire the lock or dereference the address_space in any way.
