Subject: [PATCH v6 1/9] dax: add empty static inline for CONFIG_DAX=n

When building a kernel with CONFIG_DAX=n, all uses of set_dax_nocache()
and set_dax_nomc() need to be either within regions of code or compile
units which are explicitly not compiled, or they need to rely on compiler
optimizations to eliminate calls to those undefined symbols.

It appears that at least the openrisc and loongarch architectures don't
end up eliminating those undefined symbols even if they are provably
within code which is eliminated due to conditional branches depending on
constants.

Implement empty static inline functions for set_dax_nocache() and
set_dax_nomc() in CONFIG_DAX=n to ensure those undefined references are
removed.
