[PATCH] mkfs.xfs.8: correction on mkfs.xfs manpage since reflink and dax are compatible

[PATCH] mkfs.xfs.8: correction on mkfs.xfs manpage since reflink and dax are compatible

[Bill O'Donnell]

Merged early in 2023: Commit 480017957d638 xfs: remove restrictions for fsdax
and reflink. There needs to be a corresponding change to the mkfs.xfs manpage
to remove the incompatiblity statement.
