Inodes using DAX should only ever have exceptional entries in their page
caches.  Make this clear by warning if the iteration in
dax_layout_busy_page() ever sees a non-exceptional entry, and by adding a
comment for the pagevec_release() call which only deals with struct page
pointers.

Thanks, applied (to the ext4 tree).  If someone thinks they should go
in via some other tree, holler.

Hey Ted,

It looks like you only picked up patch 1/2?  (I'm looking at the 'dev' branch
in your repo.)  Was that intentional?

You can find the final version of the 2nd patch here:

Thanks,
- Ross

Actually, it was a mistake, in that if you looked at the commit, it's
currently an empty commit.  The patch failed to apply because the ext4
tree is still based on v4.17-rc4.

My current plan is to hold the two patches until I get the current
patch of fixes pushed to Linus (probably in the next day or two; I'll
drop the empty commit before I send a pull request to reduce
confusion).  I'll then reset the ext4 tree to be based on v4.17 (or
possibly v4.18-rcX if that is necessary) and then apply the two
patches in this series.

Apologies for the confusion....
