dcssblk: mark DAX broken, remove FS_DAX_LIMITED support
The dcssblk driver has long needed special case supoprt to enable limited dax operation, so called CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED. This mode works around the incomplete support for ZONE_DEVICE on s390 by forgoing the ability of dax-mapped pages to support GUP. Now, pending cleanups to fsdax that fix its reference counting [1] depend on the ability of all dax drivers to supply ZONE_DEVICE pages. To allow that work to move forward, dax support needs to be paused for dcssblk until ZONE_DEVICE support arrives. That work has been known for a few years [2], and the removal of "pte_devmap" requirements [3] makes the conversion easier. For now, place the support behind CONFIG_BROKEN, and remove PFN_SPECIAL (dcssblk was the only user).
