Subject: [PATCH v5 12/14] dax: Use vmf->gfp_mask

We were assuming that it was OK to do a GFP_KERNEL allocation in page
fault context.  That appears to be largely true, but filesystems are
permitted to override that in their setting of mapping->gfp_flags, which
the VM then massages into vmf->gfp_flags.  No practical difference for
now, but there may come a day when we would have surprised a filesystem.
