Subject: [PATCH] dax: try to avoid unused function warnings

Without the get_block based I/O, we get warnings when CONFIG_FS_IOMAP
is disabled:

fs/dax.c:736:12: error: ‘dax_insert_mapping’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
fs/dax.c:512:12: error: ‘copy_user_dax’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
fs/dax.c:490:12: error: ‘dax_load_hole’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
fs/dax.c:294:14: error: ‘grab_mapping_entry’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

This patch blindly marks those as __maybe_unused, which avoids the warnings.
However, I suspect that there is actually more code in this file that should
not be provided without CONFIG_FS_IOMAP even though we don't get a warning
for it, and that we actually want a different rework, so please treat this
as a bug report. I have applied the patch locally in my randconfig build
setup to avoid seeing the warnings.

Fixes: 5ac65736f740 ("dax: rip out get_block based IO support")
