This implementations removes logic around @retry found in the XFS and
FUSE implementations, I think that is a mistake, and EXT4 has
apparently been broken in this regard.
wait_page_idle() returns after @page is idle, but that does not mean
@inode is DMA idle. After one found page from
dax_layout_busy_page_range() is waited upon a new call to
dax_break_mapping() needs to made to check if another DMA started, or if
there were originally more pages active.

Surprised that the compiler does not warn about an uninitialized
variable here?
