dax: do not print error message for non-persistent memory block device

Browse Source 
Commit 231609785c ("dax: print error message by pr_info()
in __generic_fsdax_supported()") happens to print the following
error message during booting when the non-persistent memory block
devices are configured by device mapper. Those error messages are
caused by the variable 'dax_dev' is NULL. Users might be confused
with those error messages since they do not use the persistent
memory device. Moreover, users might scare about "what's wrong
with my disks" because they see the 'error' and 'failed' keywords.

The call path is shown as follows:
  dm_table_determine_type
    dm_table_supports_dax
     device_supports_dax
       generic_fsdax_supported
        __generic_fsdax_supported

With the disk configuration listing from the command 'lsblk',
the member 'dev->dax_dev' of the block devices 'sdb3' and 'sdk3'
(configured by device mapper) is NULL in function
generic_fsdax_supported() because the member is configured in
function open_table_device().

To prevent the confusing error messages in this scenario (this is
normal behavior), just print those error messages by pr_debug()
by checking if dax_dev is NULL and the block device does not support
DAX.
