Replace the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
By a runtime check within alloc_dax().
This is done in preparation for its use by each filesystem supporting
the "dax" mount option to validate whether DAX is indeed supported.
This is done in preparation for using cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
data cache aliasing at runtime.
Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing
caches")
