Subject: libnvdimm, pmem: fix a NULL pointer BUG in nd_pmem_notify
From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxxx>
commit b2518c78ce76896f0f8f7940bf02104b227e1709 upstream.
The following BUG was observed when nd_pmem_notify() was called
for a BTT device. The use of a pmem_device pointer is not valid
with BTT.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000030
IP: nd_pmem_notify+0x30/0xf0 [nd_pmem]
Call Trace:
nd_device_notify+0x40/0x50
child_notify+0x10/0x20
device_for_each_child+0x50/0x90
nd_region_notify+0x20/0x30

Fix nd_pmem_notify() by setting nd_region and badblocks pointers
properly for BTT.
