From: Huaisheng Ye <yehs1@lenovo.com>
Changes since v1 [1]: * Collect Jan's reviewed-by. * According to Dan's suggestion, update the unit test infrastructure tools/testing/nvdimm/pmem-dax.c for checking the validity of gfn.

Some functions within fs/dax don't need to get gfn from direct_access. Assigning NULL to gfn of dax_direct_access is more intuitive and simple than offering a useless local variable.
So all direct_access need to check the validity of pointer pfn for NULL assignment. If pfn equals to NULL, it doesn't need to calculate its value.
