From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@xxxxxxxxxx>
Although struct dax_device itself is not tied to a block device, some
DAX code assumes there is a block device. Make block devices optional
by allowing bdev to be NULL in commonly used DAX APIs.
When there is no block device:
* Skip the partition offset calculation in bdev_dax_pgoff()
* Skip the blkdev_issue_zeroout() optimization
Note that more block device assumptions remain but I haven't reach those
code paths yet.
