Subject: [4.19-stable PATCH] dax: Avoid losing wakeup in
 dax_lock_mapping_entry

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@...radead.org>

commit 25bbe21bf427a81b8e3ccd480ea0e1d940256156 upstream.

After calling get_unlocked_entry(), you have to call
put_unlocked_entry() to avoid subsequent waiters losing wakeups.

Fixes: c2a7d2a11552 ("filesystem-dax: Introduce dax_lock_mapping_entry()")

Passes the nvdimm unit test suite which exercises the lock path.
