I like the simplification but I'm confused...

This fundamentally changes the behavior from forcing the dax mode to be the
same across the remount to only failing if we are going from non-dax to dax,
adding -o dax on the remount?

But going from -o dax to 'not -o dax' would be ok?

FWIW after thinking about it some I _think_ it would be ok to allow the dax
mode to change on a remount and let the inodes in memory stay in the mode they
are at.  And newly loaded inodes would get the new mode...  Unfortunately
without the STATX patch I have proposed the user does not have any way of
knowing which files are in which mode.
