Sync syscall to DAX file needs to flush processor cache, but it
currently does not flush to existing DAX files. This is because
'ext4_da_aops' is set to address_space_operations of existing DAX
files, instead of 'ext4_dax_aops', since S_DAX flag is set after
ext4_set_aops() in the open path.
This patchset fixes issues that sync syscall to existing DAX ex2/4
files does not flush processor cache.
Patch 1/3 adds .bmap to ext4_dax_aops so that mount -o dax works for
the journal inode.
Patch 2/3 fixes the ext4 issue by setting i_flags before ext4_set_aops()
in ext4_iget().
Patch 3/3

Ext4 mount path calls .bmap to the journal inode. This currently
works for the DAX mount case because ext4_iget() always set
'ext4_da_aops' to any regular files.
In preparation to fix ext4_iget() to set 'ext4_dax_aops' for ext4
DAX files, add ext4_bmap() to 'ext4_dax_aops'. .bmap works for
DAX
