__dax_dbg() currently assumes that bh->b_bdev is non-NULL, passing it into
bdevname() where is is dereferenced. This assumption isn't always true -
when called for reads of holes, ext4_dax_mmap_get_block() returns a buffer
head where bh->b_bdev is never set. I hit this BUG while testing the DAX
PMD fault path.
Instead, verify that we have a valid bh->b_bdev, else just say "unknown"
for the block device.
