block: disable block device DAX by default
The recent *sync enabling discovered that we are inserting into the
block_device pagecache counter to the expectations of the dirty data
tracking for dax mappings. This can lead to data corruption.
We want to support DAX for block devices eventually, but it requires
wider changes to properly manage the pagecache.

Mark the support broken so its disabled by default, but otherwise still
available for testing.
