Subject: fs: dax: do not build on ARC or SH

The DAX implementation relies on the architecture to provide a working
copy_user_page() function, as reported by Michael Ellerman's kisskb
build bot:

fs/dax.c: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_user_page' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]:  => 266:2

We already have a list of architectures that are known to be incompatible,
but the list is missing ARC and SH at the moment. Further, blackfin and
c6x also lack support for this function, but are already excluded because
they do not support MMU-based kernels.
