From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx> S_DAX should only be enabled when the underlying block device supports dax. Change ext4_should_use_dax() to check for device support prior to the over riding mount option. While we are at it change the function to ext4_should_enable_dax() as this better reflects the ask as well as matches xfs.
