dax: alloc_dax() return ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for CONFIG_DAX=n
Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for
CONFIG_DAX=n to be consistent with the fact that CONFIG_DAX=y
never returns NULL.
This is done in preparation for using cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
data cache aliasing at runtime.
