fs/dax: Fix pmd vs pte conflict detection
Users reported a v5.3 performance regression and inability to establish huge page mappings. A revised version of the ndctl "dax.sh" huge page unit test identifies commit 23c84eb7 "dax: Fix missed wakeup with PMD faults" as the source. Update get_unlocked_entry() to check for NULL entries before checking the entry order, otherwise NULL is misinterpreted as a present pte conflict. The 'order' check needs to happen before the locked check as an unlocked entry at the wrong order must fallback to lookup the correct order.
