The only thing broken about IS_DAX are the code elimination games
based on the CONFIG_* flags.  Remove those and just add proper stubs
for the dax routines and everything will be fine for now until we can
kill that inode flag.

IS_FSDAX and IS_DEVDAX on the other hand are a giant mess that isn't
helping anyone.
