DAX however no longer sets VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT, so this carve-out is no longer required. Therefore test for vma_is_kernel_owned() instead and also drop the VMA_IO_BIT check, as it is now redundant since it is enforced that only kernel-owned mappings can set this flag. This also eliminates another overloaded use of 'special' within mm. No functional change intended.
