Subject: [PATCH 4.18 159/228] filesystem-dax: Fix use of zero page

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

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

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@...radead.org>

commit b90ca5cc32f59bb214847c6855959702f00c6801 upstream.

Use my_zero_pfn instead of ZERO_PAGE(), and pass the vaddr to it instead
of zero so it works on MIPS and s390 who reference the vaddr to select a
zero page.

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org>
Fixes: 91d25ba8a6b0 ("dax: use common 4k zero page for dax mmap reads")
