[PATCH v4 02/25] fs/dax: Return unmapped busy pages from dax_layout_busy_page_range()

dax_layout_busy_page_range() is used by file systems to scan the DAX
page-cache to unmap mapping pages from user-space and to determine if
any pages in the given range are busy, either due to ongoing DMA or
other get_user_pages() usage.

Currently it checks to see the file mapping is mapped into user-space
with mapping_mapped() and returns early if not, skipping the check for
DMA busy pages. This is wrong as pages may still be undergoing DMA
access even if they have subsequently been unmapped from
user-space. Fix this by dropping the check for mapping_mapped().
