Just one nit below. With that fixed you can add:

This is a bit dangerous as depending on the use of dax_sem_is_locked()
you'd need this to return true or false. E.g. assume we'd have a place
where we'd like to do:

WARN_ON(dax_sem_is_locked(inode));

or just

if (dax_sem_is_locked(inode))
bail out due to congestion...

How I'd solve this is that I'd define:

#define assert_dax_sem_locked(ext2_inode) WARN_ON(rwsem_is_locked(&(ext2_inode)->dax_sem)

and just as do {} while (0) for !CONFIG_FS_DAX.
