I still think a litte helper macro would be nice here:

#define dax_wait_page(_inode, _page, _wait_cb)				\
  	___wait_var_event(&(_page)->_refcount,				\
		atomic_read(&(_page)->_refcount) == 1,			\
		TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, dax_layout_is_idle_page(_page),	\
		TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, 0, 0, _wait_cb(_inode));
