Re: [PATCH 4/7] fsdax: Replace mmap entry in case of CoW

We replace the existing entry to the newly allocated one
in case of CoW. Also, we mark the entry as PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
so writeback marks this entry as writeprotected. This
helps us snapshots so new write pagefaults after snapshots
trigger a CoW.
