A "fix" implies that its currently broken. I don't see how it is, not
until we add an ioctl method or other path that also tries to update
the flags outside of blkdev_get() context. So, I don't think this
patch stands on its own if you were intending it to be merged
separately.

Since this is inode generic should these helpers be prefixed "i_"
rather than "bd_"?

Clear all other flags if S_DAX is set? Why?
