dax: add dax_zero_page_range
This new function allows us to support hole-punch for DAX files by zeroing
a partial page, as opposed to the dax_truncate_page() function which can
only truncate to the end of the page. Reimplement dax_truncate_page() to
call dax_zero_page_range().
[ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com: ported to 3.13-rc2]
