Roman Gushchin 593311e85b writeback, cgroup: do not reparent dax inodes
The inode switching code is not suited for dax inodes.  An attempt to
switch a dax inode to a parent writeback structure (as a part of a
writeback cleanup procedure) results in a panic like this:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

The crash happens on an attempt to iterate over attached pagecache pages
and check the dirty flag: a dax inode's xarray contains pfn's instead of
generic struct page pointers.

This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the
inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are
never tagged; only DAX entries get tagged.

Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of
inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
