That's clearly rubbish, dax_entry_mkclean() can't possibly mask the
address. It might be mis-aligned in another process. But ... if it's
misaligned in another process, dax_entry_mkclean() will only clean the first
PTE associated with the PMD; it won't clean the whole thing. I think we need
something like this:

(I'll have to split it apart to give us something to backport)
