Today, xfs_reflink_remap_prep() will reject inodes which are in the CPU
direct access state, i.e. IS_DAX() is true.  However, it is possible to
have inodes with the XFS_DIFLAG2_DAX set, but which are not activated as
dax, due to the flag being set after the inode was loaded.

To avoid confusion and make the lack of dax+reflink crystal clear for the
user, reject reflink requests for both IS_DAX and XFS_DIFLAG2_DAX inodes
unless DAX mode is impossible due to mounting with -o dax=never.
I thought we were allowing arbitrary combinations of DAX & REFLINK inode
flags now, since we're now officially ok with "you set the inode flag
but you don't get cpu direct access because $reasons"?
