Prior to any truncation operations file systems call
dax_break_mapping() to ensure pages in the range are not under going
DMA. Later DAX page-cache entries will be removed by
truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals() in the generic page-cache code.

However this makes it possible for folios to be removed from the
page-cache even though they are still DMA busy if the file-system
hasn't called dax_break_mapping(). It also means they can never be
waited on in future because FS DAX will lose track of them once the
page-cache entry has been deleted.

Instead it is better to delete the FS DAX entry when the file-system
calls dax_break_mapping() as part of it's truncate operation. This
ensures only idle pages can be removed from the FS DAX page-cache and
makes it easy to detect if a file-system hasn't called
dax_break_mapping() prior to a truncate operation.

Changes for v7:

 - s/dax_break_mapping/dax_break_layout/ suggested by Dan.
 - Rework dax_break_mapping() to take a NULL callback for NOWAIT
   behaviour as suggested by Dan.
