[PATCH] arch/powerpc/dax: Add MAP_SYNC mmap flag

Fri Mar 15 20:43:35 AEDT 2019
This enables support for synchronous DAX fault on powerpc
The generic changes are added as part of
commit b6fb293f2497 ("mm: Define MAP_SYNC and VM_SYNC flags")
Without this, mmap returns EOPNOTSUPP for MAP_SYNC with MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE
Fixes: b5beae5e224f ("powerpc/pseries: Add driver for PAPR SCM regions")
