Continue to agree that this blight needs to end.

One of the pre-requisites to getting back to normal accounting of FSDAX
page pin counts was to first drop the usage of get_dev_pagemap() in the
GUP path:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/161604048257.1463742.1374527716381197629.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com/

That work stalled on notifying mappers of surprise removal events of FSDAX pfns.
However, Ruan has been spending some time on that problem recently:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220410171623.3788004-1-ruansy.fnst@fujitsu.com/

So, once I dig out from a bit of CXL backlog and review that effort the
next step that I see will be convert the FSDAX path to take typical
references vmf_insert() time. Unless I am missing a shorter path to get
this fixed up?

This change looks good to me as well.
