dax: fix incorrect list of data cache aliasing architectures

Browse Source 
commit d92576f116 ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
prevents DAX from building on architectures with virtually aliased
dcache with:

  depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)

This check is too broad (e.g. recent ARMv7 don't have virtually aliased
dcaches), and also misses many other architectures with virtually
aliased data cache.

This is a regression introduced in the v4.0 Linux kernel where the
dax mount option is removed for 32-bit ARMv7 boards which have no data
cache aliasing, and therefore should work fine with FS_DAX.

This was turned into the following check in alloc_dax() by a preparatory
change:

        if (ops && (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM) ||
            IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) ||
            IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC)))
                return NULL;

Use cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() instead to figure out whether the environment
has aliasing data caches.
