This patch is the duplicate of ross's fix for ext4 for xfs.

If the refcount of a page is lowered between the time that it is returned
by dax_busy_page() and when the refcount is again checked in
xfs_break_layouts() => ___wait_var_event(), the waiting function
xfs_wait_dax_page() will never be called.  This means that
xfs_break_layouts() will still have 'retry' set to false, so we'll stop
looping and never check the refcount of other pages in this inode.

Instead, always continue looping as long as dax_layout_busy_page() gives us
a page which it found with an elevated refcount.

The patch looks good to me. You can add:

Just one minor nit below:

I think it would be more understandable to name the argument of
xfs_break_dax_layouts() as 'retry' instead of 'did_unlock' as it's not
about unlocking anymore.

Thanks for the review Jan! I will change. I was trying to decide between
less code change vs more clear definition. :)
