ext4: prevent data corruption with inline data + DAX
If an inode has inline data it is currently prevented from using DAX by a
check in ext4_set_inode_flags(). When the inode grows inline data via
ext4_create_inline_data() or removes its inline data via
ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock(), the value of S_DAX can change.
Currently these changes are unsafe because we don't hold off page faults
and I/O, write back dirty radix tree entries and invalidate all mappings.
There are also issues with mm-level races when changing the value of S_DAX,
as well as issues with the VM_MIXEDMAP flag:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-xfs/msg09859.html
The unsafe transition of S_DAX can reliably cause data corruption, as shown
by the following fstest:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9948381/
Fix this issue by preventing the DAX mount option from being used on
filesystems that were created to support inline data. Inline data is an
option given to mkfs.ext4.
