The following commit:

commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for
	DAX")

moved some code in __dax_pmd_fault() that was responsible for zeroing
newly allocated PMD pages.  The new location didn't properly set up
'kaddr', though, so when run this code resulted in a NULL pointer BUG.

Fix this by getting the correct 'kaddr' via bdev_direct_access().

Hmm, we don't need the PG_PMD_COLOUR check since we aren't using the
pfn in this path, right?

I think we care, because we'll end up bailing anyway at the later
PG_PMD_COLOUR check before we actually insert the pfn via
vmf_insert_pfn_pmd().  If we don't check the alignment we'll do 2 MiB worth of
zeroing to the media, then later fall back to PTE faults.

Ok, good point.
