IOWs, dax_iomap_copy_around (or something very near it) should be
calling dax_disassociate_entry on the source range after copying extA's
contents to extB to drop its page->shared count?

This will disable COW on /all/ blocks in the entire file, including the
shared ones. At a bare minimum you'd have to scan the entire data fork
to ensure there are no shared extents. That's probably why doing this
causes so many new regressions.
