These 4k zero pages need to be unmapped from the VMAs and removed from the struct address_space radix tree before the real DAX PMD entry can be inserted. For PTE faults this same use case also exists and is handled by a combination of unmap_mapping_range() to unmap the VMAs and delete_from_page_cache() to remove the page from the address_space radix tree. For PMD faults we do have a call to unmap_mapping_range() (protected by a buffer_new() check), but nothing clears out the radix tree entry. The buffer_new() check is also incorrect as the current ext4 and XFS filesystem code will never return a buffer_head with BH_New set, even when allocating new blocks over a hole. Instead the filesystem will zero the blocks manually and return a buffer_head with only BH_Mapped set. Fix this situation by removing the buffer_new() check and adding a call to truncate_inode_pages_range() to clear out the radix tree entries before we insert the DAX PMD.
