Merge tag 'dax-locking-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull DAX locking updates from Ross Zwisler:
 "Filesystem DAX locking for 4.7

   - We use a bit in an exceptional radix tree entry as a lock bit and
     use it similarly to how page lock is used for normal faults.  This
     fixes races between hole instantiation and read faults of the same
     index.

   - Filesystem DAX PMD faults are disabled, and will be re-enabled when
     PMD locking is implemented"
