Why do we call fuse_is_inode_dax_mode() here? While sending INIT request
we set FUSE_HAS_INODE_DAX only if fuse_is_inode_dax_mode() is true. So
we should not have to call it again when server replies.?

If mapping alignment is not right, I guess we can fail (even in case
of dax=inode). In this case client wants per dax inode, server supports
it but alignment is wrong. I think that should be an error and user should
fix it. IMHO, just leave this code path in place and we will error out.
