We have no ability to change S_DAX on an inode, which means that this
flag is purely advisory. Remove all the (broken) code that tried to
change the state since it's cluttering up the code for no good reason.
If the kernel ever gains the ability to change S_DAX on the fly we can
always add this back.
Looks ok to me.
