Introduce a new dax_is_supported() static inline to check whether the
architecture supports DAX.
This replaces the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
This is done in preparation for its use by each filesystem supporting
the dax mount option to validate whether dax is indeed supported.
This is done in preparation for using dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
dcache aliasing at runtime.
Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
