[PATCH v2 07/14] fsdax: set a CoW flag when associate reflink mappings

[Shiyang Ruan]

Introduce a PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_COW flag to support association with CoW file
mappings.  In this case, since the dax-rmap has already took the
responsibility to look up for shared files by given dax page,
the page->mapping is no longer to used for rmap but for marking that
this dax page is shared.  And to make sure disassociation works fine, we
use page->index as refcount, and clear page->mapping to the initial
state when page->index is decreased to 0.

With the help of this new flag, it is able to distinguish normal case
and CoW case, and keep the warning in normal case.
