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?

Ok, good point.
