Not as I understand the code.  But as I said in the cover I am not 100% sure of
this fix.

>From what I can tell xfs_ioctl_setattr_dax_invalidate() should invalidate the
mappings and the page cache and the traces I have indicate that the DAX mode
is not changing or was properly held off.

Any other suggestions as to the problem are welcome.
