Subject: [RFC PATCH V2 02/12] fs/xfs: Isolate the physical DAX flag from effective

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

xfs_ioctl_setattr_dax_invalidate() currently checks if the DAX flag is
changing as a quick check.

But the implementation mixes the physical (XFS_DIFLAG2_DAX) and
effective (S_DAX) DAX flags.

Remove the use of the effective flag when determining if a change of the
physical flag is required.
