Block devices that are dax-capable require that the blocksize matches
the platform page size in order to enable dax. Warn if this is not the
case during mkfs, to make it clear that the filesystem will not be
mountable with the dax option enabled.
Make the option overridable so that incompatible filesystem configs can
still be created, e.g. for testing or for cases where the filesystem is
not intended to be mounted with the dax option switched on.
