Subject[PATCH v3 3/5] ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount
Message-ID<rvBYd-2li-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
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.
