Hang on a sec, the changes in the xfs tree make this function return a
boolean (true for dax-is-supported, false for dax-not-supported), but
this change partially reverts the boolean return values.

The merge should retain the 'return false' above and the 'return true'
here... or possibly just return dax_enabled:

if (!dax_enabled) {
	pr_debug(...);
	pr_debug(...);
}

return dax_enabled;
