Sync syscall to an existing DAX file needs to flush processor cache,
but it does not currently. This is because 'ext4_da_aops' is set to
address_space_operations of existing DAX files, instead of 'ext4_dax_aops',
since S_DAX flag is set after ext4_set_aops() in the open path.
New file
--------
lookup_open
ext4_create
__ext4_new_inode
ext4_set_inode_flags // Set S_DAX flag
ext4_set_aops // Set aops to ext4_dax_aops
Existing file
-------------
lookup_open
ext4_lookup
ext4_iget
ext4_set_aops // Set aops to ext4_da_aops
ext4_set_inode_flags // Set S_DAX flag
Change ext4_iget() to call ext4_set_inode_flags() before ext4_set_aops().
