Subject: writeback, cgroup: do not reparent dax inodes

The inode switching code is not suited for dax inodes.  An attempt to
switch a dax inode to a parent writeback structure (as a part of a
writeback cleanup procedure) results in a panic like this:

  [ 1011.713723] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

The crash happens on an attempt to iterate over attached pagecache pages
and check the dirty flag: a dax inode's xarray contains pfn's instead of
generic struct page pointers.

This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the
inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are never
tagged; only DAX entries get tagged.

Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of
inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.
