Subject[PATCH] mm: memory: Introduce new vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() has inefficiency when it
returns err, driver has to convert err to vm_fault_t
type. With new vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite we can handle
this limitation.

As of now vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() is only getting
invoked from fs/dax.c, so this change has to go first
in linus tree before changes in dax.
