Subject: [PATCH 4.2 059/258] pmem: add proper fencing to pmem_rw_page()

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@...ux.intel.com>

commit ba8fe0f85e15d047686caf8a42463b592c63c98c upstream.

pmem_rw_page() needs to call wmb_pmem() on writes to make sure that the
newly written data is durable.  This flow was added to pmem_rw_bytes()
and pmem_make_request() with this commit:

commit 61031952f4c8 ("arch, x86: pmem api for ensuring durability of
	persistent memory updates")

...the pmem_rw_page() path was missed.
