Subject[PATCH v3 5/5] xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount
Date
When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds,
but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for
metadata update.

Call bdev_supports_dax() to perform proper precondition checks
which includes this partition alignment check.
