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).
