dax: fix detection of dax support for non-persistent memory block devices
When calling __generic_fsdax_supported(), a dax-unsupported device may not have dax_dev as NULL, e.g. the dax related code block is not enabled by Kconfig. Therefore in __generic_fsdax_supported(), to check whether a device supports DAX or not, the following order of operations should be performed: - If dax_dev pointer is NULL, it means the device driver explicitly announce it doesn't support DAX. Then it is OK to directly return false from __generic_fsdax_supported(). - If dax_dev pointer is NOT NULL, it might be because the driver doesn't support DAX and not explicitly initialize related data structure. Then bdev_dax_supported() should be called for further check. If device driver desn't explicitly set its dax_dev pointer to NULL, this is not a bug. Calling bdev_dax_supported() makes sure they can be recognized as dax-unsupported eventually.
