Subject: [PATCH 5.1 043/128] drivers/dax: Allow to include DEV_DAX_PMEM as builtin

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.ibm.com>

commit 67476656febd7ec5f1fe1aeec3c441fcf53b1e45 upstream.

This move the dependency to DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT such that only
if DEV_DAX_PMEM is built as module we can allow the compat support.

This allows to test the new code easily in a emulation setup where we
often build things without module support.
