All callers of dax_entry_waitqueue need to calculate entry_start
using this new dax_entry_start helper.  Either we should move the
call to dax_entry_start into this helper.  Or at least use local
variables for in the callers as both of them also fill out a
wait_exceptional_entry_queue structure with it.  Or do both by
letting dax_entry_waitqueue fill out that structure as well.
