Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm, namespace: use a safe lookup for dimm device name

The following NULL dereference results from incorrectly assuming that
ndd is valid in this print:

  struct nvdimm_drvdata *ndd = to_ndd(&nd_region->mapping[i]);

  /*
   * Give up if we don't find an instance of a uuid at each
   * position (from 0 to nd_region->ndr_mappings - 1), or if we
   * find a dimm with two instances of the same uuid.
   */
  dev_err(&nd_region->dev, "%s missing label for %pUb\n",
                  dev_name(ndd->dev), nd_label->uuid);

Switch to using the nvdimm device directly.
