block: remove BLK_DEV_DAX config option 

The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit
acc93d30d7 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"")

However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always
disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN.  This config option was
introduced in commit 03cdadb040 ("block: disable block device DAX by
default")

This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.

help
When DAX support is available (CONFIG_FS_DAX) raw block
devices can also support direct userspace access to the
storage capacity via MMAP(2) similar to a file on a
DAX-enabled filesystem. However, the DAX I/O-path disables
some standard I/O-statistics, and the MMAP(2) path has some
operational differences due to bypassing the page
cache. If in doubt, say N.
