This is similar to commit dbc77f31e58b ("vfs: only allow FSSETXATTR to
set DAX flag on files and dirs").

Though the underlying filesystems may have filtered invalid flags, e.g.,
ext4_mask_flags() called in ext4_fileattr_set(), also check it in VFS
layer.

I thought we always had to surround flag tests with separate
parentheses...?
