Subject: [PATCH 4.18 104/158] tools/testing/nvdimm: kaddr and pfn can be NULL to ->direct_access()

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit 45df5d3dc0c7289c1e67afe6d2ba806ad5174314 ]

The mock / test version of pmem_direct_access() needs to check the
validity of pointers kaddr and pfn for NULL assignment. If anyone
equals to NULL, it doesn't need to calculate the value.

If pointer equals to NULL, that is to say callers may have no need for
kaddr or pfn, so this patch is prepared for allowing them to pass in
NULL instead of having to pass in a local pointer or variable that
they then just throw away.
