Subject: [PATCH v12 18/20] dax: Add dax_zero_page_range
This new function allows us to support hole-punch for DAX files by zeroing
a partial page, as opposed to the dax_truncate_page() function which can
only truncate to the end of the page. Reimplement dax_truncate_page() to
call dax_zero_page_range().
