Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] pmem: only set QUEUE_FLAG_DAX for fsdax mode

QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is an indication that a given block device supports
filesystem DAX and should not be set for PMEM namespaces which are in "raw"
or "sector" modes.  These namespaces lack struct page and are prevented
from participating in filesystem DAX.
