ext4, dax: set ext4_dax_aops for dax files
Sync syscall to DAX file needs to flush processor cache, but it
currently does not flush to existing DAX files. This is because
'ext4_da_aops' is set to address_space_operations of existing DAX
files, instead of 'ext4_dax_aops', since S_DAX flag is set after
ext4_set_aops() in the open path.
New file
--------
lookup_open
ext4_create
__ext4_new_inode
ext4_set_inode_flags // Set S_DAX flag
ext4_set_aops // Set aops to ext4_dax_aops
Existing file
-------------
lookup_open
ext4_lookup
ext4_iget
ext4_set_aops // Set aops to ext4_da_aops
ext4_set_inode_flags // Set S_DAX flag
Change ext4_iget() to initialize i_flags before ext4_set_aops().
