Same comment as for the previous one.

[PATCH 2/5] dax: fix cache flush on PMD-mapped pages

[Muchun Song]

The flush_cache_page() only remove a PAGE_SIZE sized range from the cache.
However, it does not cover the full pages in a THP except a head page.
Replace it with flush_cache_range() to fix this issue.

Fixes: f729c8c9b24f ("dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean")
