[PATCH] Revert "generic/470: use thin volume for dmlogwrites target device"

From: yangx.jy@xxxxxxxxxxx

This reverts commit fc5870da485aec0f9196a0f2bed32f73f6b2c664

generic/470 was original designed to verify mmap(MAP_SYNC) on the
log-writes device enabling DAX. As a result, we need to ensure that
all underlying devices under the log-writes device support DAX.
However the thin-volume device never supports DAX so generic/470
with the dm-thin device always gets "[not run] Cannot use thin-pool
devices on DAX capable block devices".

Besides, mmap(MAP_SYNC) will throw "mmap: Operation not supported"
even if we make generic/470 continue unconditionally.

Please see the difference between old and new logic:

old logic new logic
------------------------------------------------------------
log-writes device(DAX) log-writes device(DAX)
| |
PMEM0(DAX) + PMEM1(DAX) thin-volume(non-DAX) + PMEM1(DAX)
|
PMEM0(DAX)
------------------------------------------------------------

I think it is wrong for generic/470 to use thin volume.
