Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dax: fix bdev NULL pointer dereferences

There are a number of places in dax.c that look up the struct block_device
associated with an inode.  Previously this was done by just using
inode->i_sb->s_bdev.  This is correct for inodes that exist within the
filesystems supported by DAX (ext2, ext4 & XFS), but when running DAX
against raw block devices this value is NULL.  This causes NULL pointer
dereferences when these block_device pointers are used.

Instead, for raw block devices we need to look up the struct block_device
using I_BDEV().  This patch fixes all the block_device lookups in dax.c so
that they work properly for both filesystems and raw block devices.
