block: revert runtime dax control of the raw block device

Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
and invalidated.  This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
durability guarantees.  Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.
