As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
mappings.
In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses add
new locking in the fsdax implementation to prevent races between
page-address_space disassociation events and the rmap performed in the
memory_failure() path. Additionally, since dev_pagemap pages are hidden
from the page allocator, add a mechanism to determine the size of the
mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn. Lastly, since pmem errors
can be repaired, change the speculatively accessed poison protection,
mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and otherwise allow ongoing access
from the kernel.
