[PATCH v5 1/5] dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error

[Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

In preparation for consulting a badblocks list in pmem_direct_access(),
teach dax_pmd_fault() to fallback rather than fail immediately upon
encountering an error.  The thought being that reducing the span of the
dax request may avoid the error region.
