dax: make cache flushing protected by entry lock
Currently, flushing of caches for DAX mappings was ignoring entry lock. So far this was ok (modulo a bug that a difference in entry lock could cause cache flushing to be mistakenly skipped) but in the following patches we will write-protect PTEs on cache flushing and clear dirty tags. For that we will need more exclusion. So do cache flushing under an entry lock. This allows us to remove one lock-unlock pair of mapping->tree_lock as a bonus.
