[PATCH 3/5] dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks)

[Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com>]

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

1/ If a mapping overlaps a bad sector fail the request.

2/ Do not opportunistically report more dax-capable capacity than is
   requested when errors present.
