Currently, flushing of caches for DAX mappings was ignoring entry lock.
So far this was ok (modulo a bug that a difference in entry lock could
cause cache flushing to be mistakenly skipped) but in the following
patches we will write-protect PTEs on cache flushing and clear dirty
tags. For that we will need more exclusion. So do cache flushing under
an entry lock. This allows us to remove one lock-unlock pair of
mapping->tree_lock as a bonus.

I know there's an ongoing debate about this, but can you please stick a space
in front of the labels to make the patches pretty & to be consistent with the
rest of the DAX code?

OK, done.

Never mind, it looks like the need for labels has been fixed with this commit:

commit 218dd85887da (".gitattributes: set git diff driver for C source code
files")

With this, my git at least generates diffs that don't use labels in the chunk
start, even without spaces.

Feel free to leave out the spaces, and we can remove the stragglers from
fs/dax.c at some point.

Thanks, Jean, for fixing this!
