[v3,1/5] dax: never rely on bh.b_dev being set by get_block()

Commit Message

Previously in DAX we assumed that calls to get_block() would set bh.b_bdev,
and we would then use that value even in error cases for debugging.  This
caused a NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg() which was fixed by a
previous commit, but that commit only changed the one place where we were
hitting an error.

Instead, update dax.c so that we always initialize bh.b_bdev as best we can
based on the information that DAX has.  get_block() may or may not update
to a new value, but this at least lets us get something helpful from
bh.b_bdev for error messages and not have to worry about whether it was set
by get_block() or not.
