Introduce a FS_DAX_MAPPING_COW flag to support association with CoW file
mappings.  In this case, the dax-RMAP already takes the responsibility
to look up for shared files by given dax page.  The page->mapping is no
longer to used for rmap but for marking that this dax page is shared.
And to make sure disassociation works fine, we use page->index as
refcount, and clear page->mapping to the initial state when page->index
is decreased to 0.

With the help of this new flag, it is able to distinguish normal case
and CoW case, and keep the warning in normal case.

These really should be inline functions and probably use lower case
names.

But different question, how does this not conflict with:

#define PAGE_MAPPING_ANON       0x1

in page-flags.h?

Either way I think this flag should move to page-flags.h and be
integrated with the PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS infrastucture.

OK.

Now we are treating dax pages, so I think its flags should be different 
from normal page.  In another word, PAGE_MAPPING_ANON is a flag of rmap 
mechanism for normal page, it doesn't work for dax page.  And now, we 
have dax rmap for dax page.  So, I think this two kinds of flags are 
supposed to be used in different mechanisms and won't conflect.

And that's why I keep them in this dax.c file.

It just needs someone to use folio_test_anon in a place where a DAX
folio can be passed.  This probably should not happen, but we need to
clearly document that.

But that does not integrate it with the infrastructure.  For people
to debug things it needs to be next to PAGE_MAPPING_ANON and have
documentation explaining why they are exclusive.

Ok, understood.
