Darrick J. Wong a01987cd90 fsdax: remove zeroing code from dax_unshare_iter
[ Upstream commit 95472274b6 ]

Remove the code in dax_unshare_iter that zeroes the destination memory
because it's not necessary.

If srcmap is unwritten, we don't have to do anything because that
unwritten extent came from the regular file mapping, and unwritten
extents cannot be shared.  The same applies to holes.

Furthermore, zeroing to unshare a mapping is just plain wrong because
unsharing means copy on write, and we should be copying data.

This is effectively a revert of commit 13dd4e0462 ("fsdax: unshare:
zero destination if srcmap is HOLE or UNWRITTEN")

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.
