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,
check for the old flag and fail the test if that occurs.

Changes from V2:
	As suggested by Christoph and Eric:
		Fail the test with a hint as to why the wrong bit may be set.
