    dax: Fix deadlock in dax_lock_mapping_entry()
    
    When dax_lock_mapping_entry() has to sleep to obtain entry lock, it will
    fail to unlock mapping->i_pages spinlock and thus immediately deadlock
    against itself when retrying to grab the entry lock again. Fix the
    problem by unlocking mapping->i_pages before retrying.
