[ Upstream commit 829b37b8cddb1db75c1b7905505b90e593b15db1 ]
Trying to change dax mount options when remounting could allow mount
options to be enabled for a small amount of time, and then the mount
option change would be reverted.
In the case of "mount -o remount,dax", this can cause a race where
files would temporarily treated as DAX --- and then not.
