dax_pfn_mkwrite() previously wasn't checking the return value of the call
to dax_radix_entry(), which was a mistake.

Instead, capture this return value and pass it up the stack if it is an
error.

You can't return an errno from here.

	if (error)
		return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

is better.  For full points,

	if (error == -ENOMEM)
		return VM_FAULT_OOM;
	if (error)
		return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
	return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE;

Ah, thank you for catching that.
