Yes, so that this behavior of printing fuse options is consistnet with
ext4/xfs.

OK this naming is obviously more readable.

The complete code snippet is like:

```
        if (ctx->dax_mode != FUSE_DAX_NEVER) {
                if (ctx->dax_mode == FUSE_DAX_ALWAYS && !fs->dax_dev) {
                        err = -EINVAL;
                        pr_err("virtio-fs: dax can't be enabled as
filesystem"
                               " device does not support it.\n");
                        goto err_free_fuse_devs;
                }
                ctx->dax_dev = fs->dax_dev;
        }
```

So we need the first if condition statement, so that 'ctx->dax_dev' is
assigned in both FUSE_DAX_ALWAYS and FUSE_DAX_INODE cases.
