[PATCH 04/35] dax: Fix inefficiency in dax_writeback_mapping_range()

[Jan Kara]

dax_writeback_mapping_range() fails to update iteration index when
searching radix tree for entries needing cache flushing. Thus each
pagevec worth of entries is searched starting from the start which is
inefficient and prone to livelocks. Update index properly.
