In subsequent commits we are going to determine KSM eligibility prior to a
VMA being constructed, at which point we will of course not yet have access

It is trivial to boil down the check logic to be parameterised on
mm_struct, file and VMA flags, so do so.
As a part of this change, additionally expose and use file_is_dax() to
determine whether a file is being mapped under a DAX inode.
