Adrian Huang d4c5da5049 dax: Fix stack overflow when mounting fsdax pmem device
When mounting fsdax pmem device, commit 6180bb446a ("dax: fix
detection of dax support for non-persistent memory block devices")
introduces the stack overflow [1][2]. Here is the call path for
mounting ext4 file system:
  ext4_fill_super
    bdev_dax_supported
      __bdev_dax_supported
        dax_supported
          generic_fsdax_supported
            __generic_fsdax_supported
              bdev_dax_supported

The call path leads to the infinite calling loop, so we cannot
call bdev_dax_supported() in __generic_fsdax_supported(). The sanity
checking of the variable 'dax_dev' is moved prior to the two
bdev_dax_pgoff() checks [3][4].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
