4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
commit ef83b6e8f40bb24b92ad73b5889732346e54a793 upstream.
Similar to XFS warn when mounting DAX while it is still considered under
development. Also, aspects of the DAX implementation, for example
synchronization against multiple faults and faults causing block
allocation, depend on the correct implementation in the filesystem. The
maturity of a given DAX implementation is filesystem specific.
