It's a bit odd to set STATX_ATTR_DAX into the statx attributes in the VFS;
while the VFS can detect the current DAX state, it is the filesystem which
actually sets S_DAX on the inode, and the filesystem is the place that
knows whether DAX is something that the "filesystem actually supports" [1]
so that the statx attributes_mask can be properly set.

So, move STATX_ATTR_DAX attribute setting to the individual dax-capable
filesystems, and update the attributes_mask there as well.

TBH I preferred your previous iteration on this, which only set the DAX
bit in the attributes_mask if the underlying storage was pmem and the
blocksize was correct, etc. since it made it easier to distinguish
between a filesystem where you /could/ have DAX (but it wasn't currently
enabled) and a filesystem where it just isn't possible.

That might be enough to satisfy any critics who want to be able to
detect DAX support from an installer program.
