    cxl/region: Avoid null pointer dereference in region lookup
    
    [ Upstream commit 285f2a08841432fc3e498b1cd00cce5216cdf189 ]
    
    cxl_dpa_to_region() looks up a region based on a memdev and DPA.
    It wrongly assumes an endpoint found mapping the DPA is also of
    a fully assembled region. When not true it leads to a null pointer
    dereference looking up the region name.
    
    This appears during testing of region lookup after a failure to
    assemble a BIOS defined region or if the lookup raced with the
    assembly of the BIOS defined region.
    
    Failure to clean up BIOS defined regions that fail assembly is an
    issue in itself and a fix to that problem will alleviate some of
    the impact. It will not alleviate the race condition so let's harden
    this path.
    
    The behavior change is that the kernel oops due to a null pointer
    dereference is replaced with a dev_dbg() message noting that an
    endpoint was mapped.
    
    Additional comments are added so that future users of this function
    can more clearly understand what it provides.
