fs/ext4: Introduce DAX inode flag

Browse source 
Add a flag ([EXT4|FS]_DAX_FL) to preserve FS_XFLAG_DAX in the ext4
inode.

Set the flag to be user visible and changeable.  Set the flag to be
inherited.  Allow applications to change the flag at any time except if
it conflicts with the set of mutually exclusive flags (Currently VERITY,
ENCRYPT, JOURNAL_DATA).

Furthermore, restrict setting any of the exclusive flags if DAX is set.

While conceptually possible, we do not allow setting EXT4_DAX_FL while
at the same time clearing exclusion flags (or vice versa) for 2 reasons:

	1) The DAX flag does not take effect immediately which
	   introduces quite a bit of complexity
	2) There is no clear use case for being this flexible

Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.
