Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Remove unused function ext4_dax_huge_fault()

ext4_dax_pmd_fault() was renamed to ext4_dax_huge_fault() in this commit:

commit 7e90fc0f8785 ("mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_fault")

However, the vm_operations_struct ops table for ext4 was modified in that
commit so that .huge_fault called ext4_dax_fault(), not
ext4_dax_huge_fault().  This is actually fine, though, since as of that
commit ext4_dax_fault() and ext4_dax_huge_fault() are identical, both
eventually calling dax_iomap_fault().

So, instead of changing the opts table to have .huge_fault call
ext4_dax_huge_fault(), just leave it calling ext4_dax_fault() and remove
the unused function.

This fix also quiets the following compilation warning:

/ext4/file.c:279:1: warning: ‘ext4_dax_huge_fault’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
 ext4_dax_huge_fault(struct vm_fault *vmf)

Feel free to squash with 7e90fc0f8785 if that's best.
