Encryption and DAX are incompatible.  Changing the DAX mode due to a
change in Encryption mode is wrong without a corresponding
address_space_operations update.

Make the 2 options mutually exclusive by returning an error if DAX was
set first.

Furthermore, clarify the documentation of the exclusivity and how that
will work.
