  fs/dax: Fix pmd vs pte conflict detection (2019-10-22 22:53:02 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
dax fix 5.4-rc5

- Fix a performance regression that followed from a fix to the
  conversion of the fsdax implementation to the xarray. v5.3 users
  report that they stop seeing huge page mappings on an application +
  filesystem layout that was seeing huge pages previously on v5.2.
