Subject: [PATCH 1/3] nvdimm/pmem: check the validity of the pointer pfn

From: Huaisheng Ye <yehs1@...ovo.com>

Some functions within fs/dax don't need to get gfn from direct_access.
Assigning NULL to gfn of dax_direct_access is more intuitive and simple
than offering a useless local variable.

So direct_access needs to check validity of the pointer pfn For NULL
assignment.
