I forgot to send this patch for the stables tree, 4.0 only.
Again this one is only needed if we are truing to pull
Subject: dax: use pfn_mkwrite to update c/mtime + freeze protection
Which has the Stable@ tag. The problem it fixes is minor and might
be skipped if causes problems.
I can't take patches in the stable tree that are not in Linus's tree
also. Why can't I just take a corrisponding patch that is already in
Linus's tree, why do we need something "special" here?
