dax: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg()
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.
