Subject: v4l2: disable filesystem-dax mapping support

V4L2 memory registrations are incompatible with filesystem-dax that needs
the ability to revoke dma access to a mapping at will, or otherwise allow
the kernel to wait for completion of DMA.  The filesystem-dax
implementation breaks the traditional solution of truncate of active file
backed mappings since there is no page-cache page we can orphan to sustain
ongoing DMA.

If v4l2 wants to support long lived DMA mappings it needs to arrange to
hold a file lease or use some other mechanism so that the kernel can
coordinate revoking DMA access when the filesystem needs to truncate
mappings.
