Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4, dax: set ext4_dax_aops for dax files

Sync syscall to an existing DAX file needs to flush processor cache,
but it does not currently.  This is because 'ext4_da_aops' is set to
address_space_operations of existing DAX files, instead of 'ext4_dax_aops',
since S_DAX flag is set after ext4_set_aops() in the open path.

  New file
  --------
  lookup_open
    ext4_create
      __ext4_new_inode
        ext4_set_inode_flags   // Set S_DAX flag
      ext4_set_aops            // Set aops to ext4_dax_aops

  Existing file
  -------------
  lookup_open
    ext4_lookup
      ext4_iget
        ext4_set_aops          // Set aops to ext4_da_aops
        ext4_set_inode_flags   // Set S_DAX flag

Change ext4_iget() to call ext4_set_inode_flags() before ext4_set_aops().
