9f4736fe7ca804aa79b5916221bb13dfc6221a0f block: revert runtime dax control of the raw block device
Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
and invalidated. This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
durability guarantees. Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.
