ext4: prevent data corruption with journaling + DAX
The current code has the potential for data corruption when changing an inode's journaling mode, as that can result in a subsequent unsafe change in S_DAX. I've captured an instance of this data corruption in the following fstest: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9948377/ Prevent this data corruption from happening by disallowing changes to the journaling mode if the '-o dax' mount option was used. This means that for a given filesystem we could have a mix of inodes using either DAX or data journaling, but whatever state the inodes are in will be held for the duration of the mount.
