ext4: online defrag not supported with DAX
Online defrag operations for ext4 are hard coded to use the page cache.
See ext4_ioctl() -> ext4_move_extents() -> move_extent_per_page()
When combined with DAX I/O, which circumvents the page cache, this can
result in data corruption. This was observed with xfstests ext4/307 and
ext4/308.
Fix this by only allowing online defrag for non-DAX files.
