[PATCH v8 1/9] dax: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg()

[Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In __dax_pmd_fault() we currently assume that get_block() will always set
bh.b_bdev and we unconditionally dereference it in __dax_dbg().  This
assumption isn't always true - when called for reads of holes
ext4_dax_mmap_get_block() returns a buffer head where bh->b_bdev is never
set.  I hit this BUG while testing the DAX PMD fault path.

Instead, initialize bh.b_bdev before passing bh into get_block().  It is
possible that the filesystem's get_block() will update bh.b_bdev, and this
is fine - we just want to initialize bh.b_bdev to something reasonable so
that the calls to __dax_dbg() work and print something useful.
