There is a conflict with the user visible statx bits 'mount root' and
'dax'.  The kernel is changing the dax bit to correct this conflict.[1]

Adjust _check_s_dax() to use the new bit.  Because DAX tests do not run
on root mounts, STATX_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT should always be 0, therefore we
can allow either bit to indicate DAX and cover any kernel which may be
running.

I went ahead and used Christoph's suggestion regarding using both bits.

That wasn't my suggestion.  I think we should always error out when
the bit value shared with STATX_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT is seen.  Because that
means the kernel is not using or fixed ABI we agreed to use going
forward.

*nod* and my suggestion was to explicitly test for the old/wrong value and
offer the test-runner a hint about why it may have been set (missing the
fix commit), but we should still ultimately fail the test when it is seen.

Yes, that's what I'd prefer.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.  V3 on it's way.
