Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/15] fs/dax: Remove unused size parameter

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

Passing size to copy_user_dax implies it can copy variable sizes of data
when in fact it calls copy_user_page() which is exactly a page.

We are safe because the only caller uses PAGE_SIZE anyway so just remove
the variable for clarity.

While we are at it change copy_user_dax() to copy_cow_page_dax() to make
it clear it is a singleton helper for this one case not implementing
what dax_iomap_actor() does.
