Subject: dm: treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 11:30:56 -0500
In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of dm alloc_dev()
to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.

Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing
caches")
