From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>
Encryption and DAX are incompatible. Changing the DAX mode due to a
change in Encryption mode is wrong without a corresponding
address_space_operations update.
Make the 2 options mutually exclusive by returning an error if DAX was
set first.
Furthermore, clarify the documentation of the exclusivity and how that
will work.

Changes:
remove WARN_ON_ONCE
