device-dax: fail all private mapping attempts

commit 4cb19355ea19995941ccaad115dbfac6b75215ca upstream.

The device-dax implementation originally tried to be tricky and allow
private read-only mappings, but in the process allowed writable
MAP_PRIVATE + MAP_NORESERVE mappings.  For simplicity and predictability
just fail all private mapping attempts since device-dax memory is
statically allocated and will never support overcommit.
