Subject: [PATCH] filesystem-dax: fix broken __dax_zero_page_range()
 conversion

The conversion of __dax_zero_page_range() to 'struct dax_operations'
caused it to frequently fail. The mistake was treating the @size
parameter as a dax mapping length rather than just a length of the
clear_pmem() operation. The dax mapping length is assumed to be hard
coded as PAGE_SIZE.

Without this fix any page unaligned zeroing request will trigger a
-EINVAL return from bdev_dax_pgoff().
