Convert DAX faults to use iomap infrastructure. We would not have to start
transaction in ext4_dax_fault() anymore since ext4_iomap_begin takes
care of that but so far we do that to avoid lock inversion of
transaction start with DAX entry lock which gets acquired in
dax_iomap_fault() before calling ->iomap_begin handler.

So far I've tried to avoid the need to avoid having multiple iomap_ops
for the same fs.  Would you be fine with a new IOMAP_FAULT flag for write
faults?

Yes, that's another option. If that's better, I'll redo the patch like
that.
