Subject: fs/dax: make it possible to check dev dax support without a VMA
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2025 20:33:23 +0100

This is a prerequisite for adapting those filesystems to use the
.mmap_prepare() hook for mmap()'ing which invoke this check as this hook
does not have access to a VMA pointer.

To effect this, change the signature of daxdev_mapping_supported() and
update its callers (ext4 and xfs mmap()'ing hook code).
