I've looked into this a bit more and I think skipping on CONFIG_FSDAX=n is ok
but doing so on individual devices is not going to be possible because we don't
have that information at the vfs layer.

I'll continue to think about how to mitigate this more while I add CONFIG_FSDAX
checks before rolling out a new patch set.

I spoke with Dan today about this and we believe the answer is going to be yes.
However, not until the code is added to support DAX in reflink.  Because
currently this is only required for places which use "IS_DAX()" to see the
state of the inode.

Currently the vfs layer does not have any IS_DAX() checks in the reflink path.
But when they are added they will be required to take this sem.
