This cuts down the amount of test failures quite a bit, but I think
you're still missing a piece or two -- namely the part that refuses to
enable S_DAX mode on a reflinked file when the inode is being loaded
from disk. However, thank you for fixing dax.c, because that was the
part I couldn't figure out at all. :)
