In commit fc7b3903, we tried to make _require_dm_target smart enough to
_notrun tests that require a device mapper target that isn't compatible
with "DAX".  However, as of this writing, the incompatibility stems from
device mapper's unwillingness to switch access modes when running atop
DAX (persistent memory) devices, and has nothing to do with the
filesystem mount options.

Since filesystems supporting DAX don't universally require "dax" in the
mount options to enable that functionality, switch the test to query
sysfs to see if the scratch device supports DAX.

Fixes: fc7b3903 ("dax/dm: disable testing on devices that don't support dax")

Looks good to me.
