These compound || statements are better written as single conditions
as they are all sequential logic checks and we can't skip over
checks.

if (mp->m_flags & XFS_MOUNT_DAX_NEVER)
return false;
if (!xfs_inode_supports_dax(ip))
return false;
if (mp->m_flags & XFS_MOUNT_DAX_ALWAYS)
return true;
if (ip->i_d.di_flags2 & XFS_DIFLAG2_DAX)
return true;
return false;
