In a situation where the rt_dev is DAX and data_dev is not DAX, if the user
requests to remove the realtime flag via ioctl we can no longer support DAX
for that file. Dynamic changing of S_DAX on the inode is not supported due
to various complications in the existing implementation. Therefore until we
address the dynamic S_DAX change issues, we must disallow realtime flag
being removed.
