Merge branch 'for-5.15/fsdax-cleanups' into for-5.15/libnvdimm
Include Christoph's rework of the dax_supported() helpers in the v5.15 libnvdimm update. This supports the ongoing dax-reflink enabling effort.

Direct Access (DAX) can be used on memory-backed block devices.

+ For a DAX device to support file system access it needs to have

+ using the ndctl utility:
+
+ # ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 \

+ For ndctl to work CONFIG_DEV_DAX needs to be enabled as well. For most

If you do not have a block device that is capable of using this,
or if unsure, say N. Saying Y will increase the size of the kernel
